Slide 6: The Distribution Age - Mastering the Flow

Explanation: This slide highlights a critical pivot in the journey of wealth. After the Industrial Age solved production, the Distribution Age solved access. Wealth was no longer just about who could make the most, but about who could get it to the most people most efficiently. The rise of malls and complex supply chains created a new class of wealthy individuals and corporations—those who controlled the pipelines and storefronts to the consumer.

This era represents the beginning of the "middleman" economy, where value was captured by mastering logistics and real estate, further accelerating the movement of goods and capital that began with industrialization.
