¶ Wealth
Index Entry
Wealth:
"Energy-- larger and larger blocks of which as inherent principles of inexhaustible Universe become available to man’s control account. The impoundment of ever greater blocks of energy within the arrangements of the 92 chemical elements to give higher degrees of performance of structure and mechanics constitutes the actual means of harvesting of universal wealth.
“It is as though the phenomenon which we call raw materials, which are in fact our 92 chemical elements, were a fleet of cargo vessels into which we load ever greater cargoes of energy, and as we load them they give higher degrees of controlled performance, as a result we increase our control over fate and that is the function of wealth.”
