Every so often, an industry gets disrupted not by a competitor building something similar, but by someone who reimagines the product altogether. Uber did this for transportation when it looked at millions of people already on the road and realized its fleet already existed — no new cars, no new infrastructure. The company's success speaks for itself. Decades ago, Milton Friedman had the same kind of groundbreaking idea for K-12 education.
