2. “Nothing man has discovered or imagined is to be named with the steam engine. It has no fellow. Franklin capturing the lightning, Morse annihilating space with the telegraph, Bell transmitting speech through the air by the telephone, are not less mysterious – being more ethereal, perhaps in one sense they are even more so – still, the labor of the world performed by heating cold water places Watt and his steam engine in a class apart by itself.”
Andrew Carnegie
Invention, Technology, Progress, Industry, Innovation
15. “America means far more than a continent bounded by two oceans. It is more than pride of military power, glory in war, or in victory. It means more than vast expanse of farms, of great factories or mines, magnificent cities, or millions of automobiles and radios.” Herbert Hoover America, Identity, Society, Industry, Progress
24. “When you innovate, you create new industries that then boost your economy. And when you create new industries and that becomes part of your culture, your jobs can’t go overseas because no one else has figured out how to do it yet.” Neil deGrasse Tyson Innovation, Economy, Industry, Culture, Technology
25. “When an industry matures, it means it's not advancing, and of course the jobs go overseas. That's the obligation of the multi-national corporation: to put the factory where it can make the widget as cheap as possible. Don't get angry when a corporation does that; we've all bought into this concept. We live in a capitalistic society.” Neil deGrasse Tyson Economy, Business, Globalization, Industry, Capitalism
28. “Since Marx wrote, capitalist technology and industry have indeed spread all over the world. As they have done so, moreover, not only have material wealth and the possibilities for freeing mankind definitively from the burden of meaningless, repetitive and mechanical work increased, but so too has the polarization of society between fewer and fewer owners of capital and more and more workers of hand and brain, forced to sell their labour-power to these owners.” Karl Marx Capitalism, Industry, Inequality, Labor, Society
31. “The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.” Karl Marx Civilization, Industry, Destruction, Environment, Conservation
33. “You look at marketing: everything that's happening in marketing is digitized. Everything that's happening in finance is digitized. So pretty much every industry, every function in every industry, has a huge element that's driven by information technology. It's no longer discrete.” Satya Nadella Marketing, Finance, Technology, Digitization, Industry
35. “This is a critical time for the industry and for Microsoft. Make no mistake, we are headed for greater places – as technology evolves and we evolve with and ahead of it. Our job is to ensure that Microsoft thrives in a mobile and cloud-first world.” Satya Nadella Microsoft, Industry, Technology, Evolution, Cloud
40. “The war industry people are very together; they know exactly what they want; they don't even have to talk to each other. The peace industry people are just intellectuals who are very critical of each other. Unless the peace industry is powerful, we're always going to have war. It is as simple as that.” Yoko Ono War, Peace, Industry, Critical Thinking, Unity Power
41. “In this industry, there's a lot of cases of being a competitor in one way, but you're often a customer and a vendor in another way. It's not atypical in aerospace. Actually, it's not that atypical in a lot of industries.” Jeff Bezos Business Dynamics, Competition, Industry, Aerospace, Innovation
46. “Wealth comes from industry and from the hard experience of human toil. To dissipate it in waste and extravagance is disloyalty to humanity. This is by no means a doctrine of parsimony. Both men and nations should live in accordance with their means and devote their substance not only to productive industry, but to the creation of the various forms of beauty and the pursuit of culture which give adornments to the art of life.” Calvin Coolidge Wealth, Industry, Hard Work, Financial Wisdom, Human Progress
47. “So it went, in industry after industry – shrewd, efficient businessmen building empires, choking out competition, maintaining high prices, keeping wages low, using government subsidies. These industries were the first beneficiaries of the “welfare state.”” Howard Zinn Industry, Capitalism, Wages, Corporate Power, Economic Inequality
