Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A fresh look at the boom in entrepreneurship and start-ups - and
how it will change the world of work in the coming decade. Bold,
insightful and bursting with ideas, Start-Up Century explains why
more of us than ever are choosing to start our own businesses. The
book explores how to seize on the myriad entrepreneurial
opportunities in artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology
and renewable energy that lie ahead. For almost 200 years, work has
been increasingly defined by ever larger enterprises, complex
bureaucracies, and the corporate career ladder, with the plight of
the self-employed, freelancers and tradespeople an afterthought.
Today, however, record numbers of people are working for
themselves, trying something new, going solo and upending centuries
of tradition in the process. We’re still in the early stages of
this entrepreneurial revolution, with most people and countries far
from ready for the shift – what will happen when most of the
workforce are self-employed or working in microbusinesses? Start-Up
Century tells the story of how a convergence of technological,
economic and cultural changes are rewriting the rules of building a
business, unleashing this new way of working, and how our
financial, educational and political institutions need to change to
support it. It is unashamedly optimistic. While much has been
written about the negative aspects of technology and artificial
intelligence in particular, Start-Up Century focuses on how it can
be an empowering force, helping millions of us lead more
independent lives and find dignity and meaning in our work, so long
as we get the right support, the digital scaffolds, needed to take
advantage of it. Authored by James Wise, the venture capitalist and
technology commentator, Start-Up Century is packed with personal
tales and interviews with everyone from teenage side-hustlers to
the CEOs of multi-billion-dollar successes. This is a book for
every aspiring entrepreneur, and anyone interested in the policy
changes needed to support them.
