“When profits are pursued by geographic interchange of goods, so that commerce for profit becomes the central mechanism of the system, we usually call it "commercial capitalism." In such a system goods are conveyed from ares where they are more common (and therefore cheaper) to areas where they are less common (and therefore less cheap). This process leads to regional specialization and to division of labor, both in agricultural production and in handicrafts.” ProcessCommonCapitalismAreasLaborProfitProductionsGoodsDivisionMechanismCommercePursuedCheaperSpecializationInterchangeDivision Of LaborHandicrafts Author:Carroll Quigley
“Uranium mining in northern Canada has left over 120 million tons of radioactive waste. This amount represents enough material to cover the Trans-Canada Highway two meters deep across the country. Present production of uranium waste from Saskatchewan alone occurs at the rate of over 1 million tons annually. Since 1975, hospitalization for cancer, birth defects and circulatory illnesses in that area have increased dramatically - between 123 and 600 percent in that region.” TwoCountryEnoughLeftMillionsMaterialsAmountBirthWastePercentAreasEnvironmentalRateCancerIllnessProductionsCanadaRegionsPollutionDefectsHighwaysTransMeterMiningUraniumBirth DefectsUranium MiningSaskatchewanRadioactive Waste Author:Winona LaDuke

“The oil industry is a stunning example of how science, technology, and mass production can divert an entire group of companies from their main task. ... No oil company gets as excited about the customers in its own backyard as about the oil in the Sahara Desert. ...

From that primal position its definition moves steadily back stream to areas of progressively lesser importance until it finally comes to rest at the search for oil.” NeedsImportantSeemsMovingScienceCompanyTechnologyGroupsExamplePositionProductsIndustryTruth IsMassAreasTasksImportanceDefinitionsProductionsExcitedCustomersOilDesertStreamsPrimalBackyardsStunningOil CompaniesScience TechnologyMass ProductionOil IndustrySaharaSahara Desert Author:Theodore Levitt
