You're transported back to 1994 with all your current knowledge and $50,000. Your goal is to create the world's biggest online shopping company.

How do you go about it?

As a further thought experiment, if you travelled back to 1960 with all your current knowledge and the goal of becoming the richest person on earth, what businesses would you start?

I agree. My father managed a montomery ward catalog store. Which is amazon in the 70s. I think this is simpky cyclical. Next phase will be heavily in person commerce and everyone will wonder how they bought anything online. And then this questions will be: how would you capitalize on the farmstand movement of 2020? Or rather the farmstand-mart-azon movement.
