Announcing the Intrepid podcast: The Derby Mill Series

The last time we fully redesigned our means of production the impact on economic growth was dramatic.

For nearly 3,000 years, economic growth averaged about 0.01% per year. Then, around 1750, we redesigned our means of production and growth increased by about 150X to around 1.5% per year. Historians later named that redesign process the Industrial Revolution. The first modern factory — powered, continuous production — of the Industrial Revolution was the Derby Silk Mill.
