A New Revolution
Foreword by Rob Lovelace, Capital Group
There are periods of fundamental change that can transform the way we live and work. The Industrial Revolution, of course, changed everything from agriculture to the social structure, effectively ending the way mankind had functioned for thousands of years.
Today it seems as if we are in the middle of another revolution, and clearly these changes pose significant challenges and opportunities for long-term investors.
The changes range from digital to medical, from e-commerce changing the way we shop to DNA analysis opening a new era in medicine. There's new technology providing access to previously inaccessible oil and natural gas, and 3-D printing, something that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Those are just a few of the developments that have set in motion a chain of events that would have been hard to imagine even a few years ago.
But they are real and represent a new revolution that has the potential to improve the standard of living across the globe, provide companies with new profit opportunities, and investors with potential reward.
