For 62 years, from 1945-2007, with some sharp but temporary and regionalized interruptions, entrepreneurs and enterprisers could bet that the demand would be there if they created the supply. This played a significant role in setting the stage for the two fastest generations of global economic growth the world has ever seen.
在1945年到2007年这62年里，尽管受到了一些强烈（但是短期且且仅限于某些区域）的冲击，企业家和创业者依然相信只要他们能创造出供给，需求就会出现。这点在奠定全球有史以来经济增长最快的两个时代时都扮演着重要的角色。而如今，这一基础却被抽空了。
