Host Latif Nasser introduces a new channel, 'InGenius,' focused on the social science behind how our complex, changing world functions. As a case study, he details the history of the shipping container. Previously, manual labor at ports made shipping goods costly, slow, and prone to theft and corruption. In 1955, American trucker Malcom McLean gambled his business by developing a standardized, stackable container system. With the help of engineer Keith Tantlinger, they pioneered a 'seamless' loading process that transferred goods directly from truck to ship, fundamentally transforming global trade and the face of communist China.
