  • Galaxy’s Edge feels emblematic about the issues of design under Iger versus Eisner.

    Eisner vastly expanded park capacity, but he didn’t just focus on E-ticket attractions. He intentionally built some parts of the parks to entertain but cheaper to add capacity and give people a place to be entertained if they didn’t want to wait in long lines.

    In contrast, most of Iger’s expansions were generally a lot more costly and didn’t have the throughout of previous E-ticket attractions. This ended up pushing Disney into being a more premium experience.


  • I feel like this is a symbol of the difference between the Eisner and the Iger CEO tenures. Eisner built out a massive expansion of the parks under his leadership, doubling the gates in Anaheim and Orlando while planning international expansion. Iger didn’t, choosing smaller expansions with premium experiences over capacity expansions.

    It is part of the reason that Universal has been able to grow so much, Disney doesn’t have the capacity that it needs to meet high end theme park demand.











  • A lot of initial theory was written when the idea of complex markets and how they functioned was a relatively new idea. Compared to previous economic systems that were implemented, capitalism involved a lot less government involvement.

    Crony Capitalism came about as an idea when established companies found it was cheaper to buy off the government for a better regulatory environment.

    In theory you can have capitalism without crony capitalism, but it generally requires political power to be very diffuse and not concentrated in certain industries.
