The twentieth century has been the realization century for the foundational scientific principles.
The concept of flying and flying of a kite can be traced as early as 1000 B.C.E. Historians have traced and documented numerous unsuccessful attempts of human flight until 1904. Aviation has been realized since 20th Century.
The concept of communication using external tools can be traced as early as the stone age. During 20th century the core principles of remote communication became reality so widely that it literally shrunk the world.
British and fellow Europeans stretched their imagination and decided to learn more about the world by exploring. Their adventures, abilities to trade, organization and people management skills influenced various forms of governance. British succeeded in establishing monopolized trade environments by using simple principles of mass controls - "Divide and Rule". Utilization of this core principle of mass control can also be traced as far back as the the first civilized act of humans.
20th century, in my opinion, also served as strengthening the abilities and reach of this core principle - divide and rule much more effectively and expeditiously.
The evidences are, that almost all the nations are now facing a common challenge - "the rising inequality". This is where the earth now has a common alien (enemy), metaphorically, which challenges the methods of trade, commerce and economics, which are complex implementations of the foundational principle - divide and rule.
This may sound to be an over simplification and even like a conspiracy theory but I am sure that this perspective will sure help make a case to question how we trade and commerce and why we are compelled to think and focus on - Social Entrepreneurship.
