Its entire workforce reaches 1.9 million employees. It’s currently worth 200 billion dollars, but… how much is that exactly? Picture Qatar’s or New Zealand’s GDP. That’s how much McDonald’s is worth. Mind-blowing, I’d say.  What About the Logo?

Let's face it: we've all played Monopoly in one of those long, often boring family dinners. So you’re probably familiar with the concept. It’s defined as a ‘market structure where a single entity is the sole supplier of a specific product or service, facing no competition’. A frequent example is the water system of a specific area or region. These are normally controlled by a single company because of the high cost of construction of these sites, which makes it more...]]></description><link>https://www.thecurious-entrepreneur.com/post/from-standard-oil-to-ticketmaster-the-tales-of-the-world-s-greatest-monopolies-of-all-time</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4fdfff605fe4479947a418</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 17:00:21 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_0331a86a1be84768a1a9c32a3d1bfe41~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thecuriousentrepre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[‘Brutally Honest and Refreshing, a Must Read for All Aspiring Entrepreneurs’: What Phil Knight’s ‘Shoe Dog’ Taught Me About His Journey at Nike ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Everybody starts small. That’s a lesson ‘Shoe Dog’ taught me. And it’s fine to be lost. Or directionless. Or maybe both. A 24 year old Stanford graduate went out for a run. He was stuck. He expected something greater in life. He decided he wasn’t going to settle for less. So–to his father’s initial disappointment–he gave up the idea of being an accountant. He took a flight to Japan and started selling Tiger sneakers in America, his ‘Crazy Idea’. The rest is history. Although the original name...]]></description><link>https://www.thecurious-entrepreneur.com/post/brutally-honest-and-refreshing-a-must-read-for-all-aspiring-entrepreneurs-what-phil-knight-s-sh</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3d7872faba6cee57d8fe37</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 18:28:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_53a451095d1345c99f11c236f38d65d0~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thecuriousentrepre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why We're Getting Poorer by Cahal Moran: A Deep Insight Into Unfair-But Hidden Economic Burdens]]></title><description><![CDATA[Inflation and how we’re wrong about the right solutions Inflation, defined as ‘the general change in the price of goods and services in a given country over a period of time’, has always raised big questions in my mind. The other day, in my Economics class, the teacher was explaining how inflation works, when one student raised her hand and said ‘why don’t we just print more money?’.
