著者：
In 1956, a trucker named Malcolm McLean launched a ship with fifty-eight containers aboard. He was trying to solve a logistics problem. Instead, he accidentally changed the world
Economist Marc Levinson spent a decade researching containerization and discovered what McLean couldn't see: this simple metal box rewired labor, reshaped cities, enabled globalization, and helped pull billions of people out of poverty. Levinson's decade-long investigation reveals what happens when one innovation has consequences nobody can predict. This episode is about invisibility, unintended consequences, and why the most important forces in our world are often the ones we never notice.
