Halfway-round-the-Worl ding:
"We have total industry as a model that deals with metals and not just local vegetation from the agrarian era… but the metals were all around the world and man had to go halfway round the world-- on the average-- from where he started to find all the metals that he needed; and he took them out of the ground, from their matrix, and then he had to progressively refine them, some of it done locally but mostly moved into a place where there were great energy headquarters with energy available to separate out the ores more. He finally separated out more and more until he got to maximum separation. At this point he might then have pure metal and then he could begin to associate that metal with another metal as an alloy. As he associates more and more the parts get into a larger assembly and finally you get into the total complex of technology.
"In order to justify having gone halfway round the world and doing this enormous patterning, taking a long time doing it, he then has to find the most people in the world who are going to be benefitted by what he has done; and so he deduces that he may have to go halfway round the world again.
“Sumtotally industrialization is all the way round: halfway inbound and halfway outbound-- it really amounts to one complete”
