When Mao prepared his Great Leap forward he thought that it doesn't make sense to have the factories in the cities. He thought it would be much better to move them to the country-side.
That was one of the worst economic decisions in history, because a lot of those relocated factories stopped working. It turns out that having factories near other factories is useful. Millions starved.
These days we know how to run a steel mill or a car man well enough to have it in a rural area but in the beginning they had to be in cities.
Hi, I'm an entrepreneur looking for a startup idea.
In my experience, the reason most startups fail is because they never actually solve anyone's problem. So I'm cheating and starting out by identifying a specific person with a specific problem.
So I'm asking you, what's the most annoying part of your life/job? Also, how much would you pay for a solution?
