My half-baked reading of history is that we continue to go through these waves of entrepreneurial explosion followed by merger mania and consolidation.

Some people have argued that listening to a work of literature does not really promote literacy in the same way that reading does.

Tom Peters
Power lies in the details, and the tenacious pursuit of such hidden levers can pay off enormously.
