This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle
It focuses specifically on how Frank Frink and Ed McCarthy begin their Edfrank Custom Jewelry company after Frink is fired by Harlan Wyndam-Matson from his company where Frank has been producing fake American artifacts. They blackmail Wyndam-Matson in order to get their start-up money, and then begin producing their jewelry. In Frank's mind, this means lowering themselves morally to the level of Wyndam-Matson
