The Industrial revolution created two classes of people - those who could afford a factory and those who couldn't -The rich and the poor, the workers and the owners. Today a "Factory" costs less than £5,000 (Laptop, phone, website, passion). This has caused a massive shift in the way the world works and creates wealth. I call this shift "The Entrepreneur Revolution".
