“It is great to add some glamour to the food industry, like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry.

“National film industries tend to move in cycles. In Australia right now, we're on a high, a feeling of potential, which as yet shows no sign of flagging. But the word "industry" is misleading.

“As South Korea shows, active participation in international trade does not require free trade. Indeed, had South Korea pursued free trade and not promoted infant industries, it would not have become a major trading nation. It would still be exporting raw materials (e.g., tungsten ore, fish, seaweed) or low-technology, low-price products (e.g., textiles, garments, wigs made with human hair) that used to be its main export items in the 1960s.” HumansDoeMadeStillsShowsUsedNationsTechnologyMaterialsProductsHairIndustryMajorsLowsTradeSouthInternationalFishesActiveUsed To BeParticipationTradingInfantItems1960sKoreaPursuedGarmentsRaw MaterialsFree TradeWigsSeaweedSouth KoreaTextilesInternational TradeExportingActive Participation Book:Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism Source: Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism
“What keeps this industry alive is creators doing their own work. Once you change a costume or origin enough times, it's a dead body - you're just electrocuting it and keeping it sort of shambling on.

“An Italian philosopher said that "time was his estate"; an estate indeed which will produce nothing without cultivation, but will always abundantly repay the labors of industry, and generally satisfy the most extensive desires, if no part of it be suffered to lie in waste by negligence, to be overrun with noxious plants, or laid out for show rather than for use.” IfsSaidUseShowsLyingDesireProduceIndustryOne DayWasteLaborPlantPhilosopherItalianEstatesCultivationNegligence Author:Samuel Johnson
