I wanted to revisit this quickly - I think what struck me was the difference between entrepreneurship and invention. I genuinely struggle to see how to create a million new jobs. Jobs are either shifted (demand for product A drops so Factory A shuts and everyone then goes to work at factory B)

This seems to be something where the total jobs globally is static (perhaps total demand is) except for natural growth probably population related

And is distinct from an invention - say fusion power - that actually increases the value available to humans

Just realised quite horribly that I wrote that on the coach in to work 20 hours ago - and have just got into bed. It's gonna be a rough day tomorrow.
