I see the value in investing in and benefiting from the growth of a global economy. I despise having to do it in a way that only makes the large companies larger; real economic growth for me lies in small independent entrepreneurship, not in publicly held corporations.

But the reality doesn't really show that.

Most growth comes large highly capitalised companies with money to invest in expanding knowledge and capital.

The startup making it big is still relatively rare thing in the grand scheme things.

And the majority of small businesses struggle or stay the same size for ages because they're operating in competitive markets.

I am not talking about startups but classic entrepreneurship in non-tech areas, and it may be our definitions of growth also differs. From a systemic perspective, I am not a fan of cancerous growth. Not all growth is positive for the participants of a system.
