In fact, from the point of view of global economic development, before China, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan have experienced the rise of industrialization of the manufacturing industry, have successively become the "factory of the world" (and then this title was taken away by China, and now this title has been transferred to Southeast Asia's obvious trend), the transformation of these countries, the United Kingdom in general, half successful, the United States completely successful. Half successful, the United States completely successful (by Google, Intel and other technology and Wall Street finance), Japan has succeeded a little. Regardless, in retrospect, the best brands in the manufacturing sector will grow and go global in the process as the economy transforms; secondly, there are the high-tech types of companies (I'm actually not a big fan of innovative tech companies in comparison; Chinese companies like to follow the trend and aren't very original, which means that it's hard for these types of world-class companies to emerge).
As a retail investor at the bottom of the ladder, buying and selling shares in these types of companies should be the best way to benefit, and only shares, are the most direct way to participate. Of course, if one can afford it, starting a business and opening a great company would be even better - the rewards are greater, the results are faster, and of course the payoff is greater.
