There are periods in history when opportunity is so close, it feels tangible.
Such was America’s Gilded Age from 1870-1900, when the number of U.S. millionaires jumped from 20 to 40,000 as entrepreneurs seized opportunities in railroads, mining, retail and finance.
Such has been China of the last three decades, where the rate of growth averaged over 10 percent per year.
