It's largely a rehash of Tyler Cowen and Michael Porter (whether Thiel has read them or not I don't know, but he covers very similar ground). Some interesting ideas, but it's not going to change your life. One thing that bothered me about it was his assumption that the important problems he's so interested in aren't being solved due to lack of effort. The idea that certain problems just aren't economically feasible currently was not explored.
