Family Quote by Edward A. Hudson
““The breakthrough into industrial growth took place in Britain. However, economic leadership gradually passed to the United States, based on a new set of growth industries such as electricity, household appliances and the automobile. These drove America forward until the 1970s. Different products then took over as growth drivers – the computer, health care, entertainment and recently the internet.””
