“**The economy is always looking for a better product at a lower price. For the last 150 years, big companies who have been able to afford big factories have been the only ones able to deliver it.** Not any more; not in this global, digital, connected economy. New, global, small teams can also deliver high quality at a lower cost in many niches. Small teams can source products and ideas faster and more cheaply over the internet than big businesses can. Small enterprise can access big factories when they need to but don’t have the overheads when they aren’t using them. Small runs lean but powerful in this economy.” ([Location 443](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00NVQE4T8&location=443)) --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[economics]], [[efficiencies]], [[capitalism]] **Source** -- [[20250303112500 - B - Key Person of Influence]]
