Across the world, the great and the good are rebelling. Well, maybe they are not all good, or indeed, great, but they make up that category of people one might describe as opinion formers. And in the last few weeks the anti-austerity tide has been gaining some pretty impressive momentum.
Bull and Bear – an optimistic and pessimistic view of investment news. Today’s stories: What next for AstraZeneca? Samsung takes number one spot from Nokia. Spain sees credit rating slashed. More doubts about a hard landing in China.
I’ve been reading a brilliant interview view with John Sculley, that’s the man who was recruited by Steve Jobs to head up Apple, only to fall out with the Apple co-founder, ultimately leading to the dismissal of Jobs some time later. Actually, Sculley was very generous about the man he so famously clashed with. But it was one thing in particular that Sculley said about the Jobs vision which set me thinking. And that brings me onto what I believe is the next industrial revolution, something that is occurring right now. It’s the opportunity of a life-time, and there is a lesson in the Steve Jobs story.
