Why no Roman Industrial Revolution?
daniel savage2y10

What if the key to the "industrial revolution"  wasn't an industrial problem to solve? What if banking/finance and risk transfer were the key? Inventors don't come with money; those with money don't want to take unlimited risks with their money, plus a whole host of intermediaries - managers, insurance, and accountants.
