90000 Philosophy — The Love of Wisdom? 90001 90002 90003 Episode # 1 of the course What is wisdom: An introduction to philosophy by Will Buckingham 90004 90005 90002 90005 90002 Welcome to this short philosophy course. My name is Will Buckingham. I’m a philosopher and writer who has spent many years thinking about the practical implications of philosophy for everyday life. Over the next 10 days, we’ll be exploring how philosophers both East and West have thought about wisdom and how we might be able to cultivate it.Together, we will be looking at some of the most important and influential thinkers in all of human history, from Plato and Aristotle to Confucius and the Buddha. 90005 90002 90005 90002 90013 Knowledge and Action 90014 90005 90002 But what is wisdom? In an everyday sense, we often have a good idea of ​​what wisdom means. Perhaps you have a friend whom you consider particularly wise, whom you regularly go to for advice. Or perhaps you have a friend who is spectacularly unwise and who, when you go together to the zoo, leaps over the barrier to give the lions a cuddle.We are quite happy to call our 1st friend wise and our 2nd friend unwise. But what do we actually 90017 mean 90018 by this? 90005 90002 To be wise, it seems that you need to satisfy at least 2 requirements. You need to have 90017 knowledge 90018 (you need to 90017 know 90018 that lions are dangerous animals). But you also need to 90017 act wisely 90018 in the light of this knowledge. In other words, knowing what you know about lions, you still need to resist the mad impulse to cuddle them when you are overwhelmed by their cuteness.90005 90002 Whatever else wisdom might be, it involves both 90017 what we know 90018 and 90017 what we do 90018. 90005 90002 90005 90002 90013 Philosophy and Wisdom 90014 90005 90002 The word «philosophy» literally means the «love» (90017 philo 90018 in Greek) of «wisdom» (90017 sophia 90018). So, a philosopher is somebody who loves wisdom. This, of course, leaves us with 2 important questions: What is wisdom? And what does it mean to 90017 love 90018 wisdom? 90005 90002 The idea of ​​philosophy goes all the way back to ancient Greece.It is said that the philosopher Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE was the 1st to call himself a philosopher-a 90017 philosophos, 90018 or «lover of wisdom.» In calling himself this, he was not claiming to be wise. Instead, he was merely saying that he was somebody who valued or cherished wisdom. 90005 90002 Later, the philosopher Plato, who lived in the 5th century BCE, explored these ideas in more depth. In a text called the 90017 Symposium 90018, Plato claimed that a philosopher was somebody who was «between the wise and the ignorant.»In other words, a philosopher cared about wisdom but also knew that they were ignorant (we will see tomorrow how Plato was influenced in this by his teacher, Socrates). 90005 90002 90005 90002 90013 Wise Thinking, Wise Living 90014 90005 90002 The philosophers we will be exploring in the coming days have different approaches to the question of what wisdom is and how we might become wise. Some philosophers are more practical, focusing more on 90017 what we do 90018. Others are more theoretical and grapple with questions about 90017 what we know 90018.In this course, we will explore both kinds of questions. We will look at how we might 90017 think 90018 more wisely and how we might 90017 live 90018 more wisely. 90005 90002 90005 90002 90013 A Word of Warning 90014 90005 90002 By the end of this course, you should have a better idea of ​​how some of history’s greatest philosophers have thought about wisdom and why it matters. I can not, of course, guarantee that you will become wise in 10 days (and as we will see, the philosophers do not all agree on what «wisdom» means, anyway).But what I can promise you is that through looking at these different philosophers, you will have new ways of asking the question, «what is wisdom?», New ways of answering the question and perhaps new ways of thinking about what it might mean to live wisely. 90005 90002 90005 90082 90002 90003 Learn Something New Every Day 90004 90005 90002 Get smarter with 10-day courses delivered in easy-to-digest emails every morning.

Many of these proverbs are entirely unique to the English language, which makes them particularly special to learn.90005 90002 Sometimes, the only way to express a feeling, extend a piece of advice or state a truth is through the use of an age-old proverb. 90005 90002 While there are hundreds of English proverbs, knowing a few English proverbs about love is an easy way to impress a native English speaker that you might be fond of or in love with. There are also plenty of English proverbs about self-love, family love and lost love. 90005 90002 As a wise English proverb so simply states, «never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.»Today, you will learn 30 English proverbs about love! 90005 90016 90017 What Are English Proverbs? 90018 90002 English proverbs are catchy sayings that state a truth or give advice. They are generally used when speaking, and many come from old literature, songs, specific moments in history or from great philosophers and great great-great-grandparents. Often, there is a literal meaning and a figurative (not literal) meaning of each proverb. The figurative meaning is what really makes it a proverb, though.90005 90002 An example of this is the proverb: «Strike while the iron is hot.» This saying literally came from blacksmiths (metalworkers) who were referring to hitting the iron with the hammer as soon as it became red hot. The figurative meaning translates to: «Seize opportunities as they arise.» 90005 90002 Most native English speakers know at least a few proverbs. And, having a few of these in your back pocket will make you sound like a real English speaking pro. 90005 90025 The difference between proverbs and idioms 90026 90002 When learning new languages, idioms can be mistaken as proverbs since they are both short and relatively well-known sayings that are both commonly used in the spoken word.However, English idioms differ in that they are not complete sentences and the literal meaning does not often make much sense. 90005 90002 An example of an idiom would be «a dime a dozen,» (something or someone very common) or «beat around the bush» (to avoid or delay talking about or dealing with something). 90005 90025 Proverbs about love are universal 90026 90002 Proverbs are found in every language and culture. There are many proverbs from other languages ​​that have been translated into English and are now commonly-heard English proverbs.90005 90002 For example: 90005 90037 90038 «Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.» (French) 90039 90038 «Love understands all languages.» (Romanian) 90039 90038 «Love has to be shown by deeds, not words.» (Swahili) 90039 90038 «The heart that loves is always young.» (Greek) 90039 90046 90017 Affectionate Love 90018 90002 90050 90005 90025 1. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. 90026 90002 This English proverb about love explains that a man will fall in love with a woman who is a great cook.Alternatively, some people use it to indicate that a woman can make a man fall in love with her by cooking him delicious food. 90005 90025 2. There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love. 90026 90002 Regardless of how intelligent a person may be, when in love the heart rules over the brain. Love can make a wise man or woman act foolishly. 90005 90025 3. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 90026 90002 This proverb states both a truth and offers some advice. Spending time apart from the one you love gives you the chance to miss that person and for that person to miss you.It is this yearning for each other that often strengthens the love and desire for one another. 90005 90002 This well-known English love proverb first appeared in an тисячі вісімсот сорок чотири poem by Thomas Haynes Bayly titled «Isles of Beauty.» 90005 90025 4. Two shorten the road. 90026 90002 This proverb originated in Ireland. It suggests that long journeys feel shorter when done with another person, and that life is more enjoyable with companionship, especially when it is with someone who you love. 90005 90025 5.Opposites attract. 90026 90002 You can use this proverb when you want to describe two people who are in love but who have opposite personalities, interests or backgrounds. 90005 90025 6. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 90026 90002 This proverb does not only apply to romantic love, but it is most often used in this way. People say this proverb when they are perplexed as to why a person is in love with another person. In this case, beauty could be physical, intellectual, emotional, personality-related or something else.90005 90025 7. The heart wants what it wants. 90026 90002 This proverb can be said by someone in love or by someone on the outside of the relationship who is trying to understand the relationship. Like «beauty is in the eye of the beholder,» it is often said when the reason for desire, attraction and love is unclear. 90005 90017 Unconditional Love 90018 90002 90085 90005 90025 8. Love is blind. 90026 90002 A person who is blind in love fails to see any faults in the person they are in love with.This proverb is often used by friends or family members who can clearly see the bad parts of a relationship that the people in love do not notice. 90005 90025 9. All you need is love. 90026 90002 This is both the title and lyrics of a famous song by the British rock band, The Beatles. It was released in 1967. Today, it is commonly quoted in casual conversations about love. This proverb means that nothing in life is more important than giving and receiving love. 90005 90025 10. Love conquers all.90026 90002 The meaning behind this proverb is that love is the strongest force in the world, and nothing can overpower it. 90005 90025 11. Love will find a way. 90026 90002 This English love proverb means that regardless of the obstacles in place, love will always prevail in the end. 90005 90025 12. Love makes the world go ’round. 90026 90002 This proverb proclaims that love is what keeps us going. 90005 90025 13. Love knows no bounds. 90026 90002 This translates to mean that love is limitless.True love can not be contained or broken by any means. 90005 90017 Familial Love 90018 90002 90114 90005 90025 14. Blood is thicker than water. 90026 90002 People use this to describe the bonds and loyalties found between blood family relations. It states that the bonds of family are stronger and more important than any other type of relationship. 90005 90025 15. Home is where the heart is. 90026 90002 This proverb explains how your home is the place your heart is drawn to. This place may or may not be where you grew up.In this proverb, home can be a specific location or when you are with particular people. 90005 90025 16. You can choose your friends, but you can not choose your family. 90026 90002 This proverb is adapted from a famous quote by Harper Lee: «You can choose your friends but you sho ‘can not choose your family, an’ they’re still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge ’em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you do not. » 90005 90002 The take away from this proverb is that while you might not like or get along with some or all of your family, you should try and accept them for who they are and as they are.Since you do not get to pick them, you just have to accept them and love them. 90005 90025 17. That’s a face only a mother could love. 90026 90002 People use this proverb jokingly for something unattractive. Sometimes it is used to describe a person, but very often, people say it to describe a weird-looking animal or plant. The idea behind this proverb is that a mother’s love of her children is strong and goes beyond physical beauty. You could even say that a mother’s love is blind since she will love her children no matter what.90005 90025 18. Tough love. 90026 90002 This proverb is usually used to describe parents when they are disciplining their children. It means that sometimes, a person or parent must be severe to teach someone a valuable life lesson. The discipline or lesson taught comes from a place of love but is often unpleasant for everyone involved. 90005 90025 19. Happy wife, happy life. 90026 90002 This lighthearted, jokey proverb means that by keeping one’s wife happy, the spouse, in turn, will have a happier and less stressful life.90005 90017 Self-love 90018 90002 90145 90005 90025 19. You can not love until you love yourself. 90026 90002 The meaning behind this English proverb about love is that loving yourself is very important. Before you can truly love someone else, you must first know, accept and love yourself. 90005 90025 20. Love yourself or no one else will. 90026 90002 With a very similar meaning to the proverb above, this proverb means that no one else will be able to fully love you until you first love yourself.90005 90025 21. Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. 90026 90002 This quote by the famous 1950’s American actress Marilyn Monroe has become a modern proverb of sorts about self-love. It means that you are who you are, whether you like it or not. Therefore, you might as well accept and embrace yourself rather than wasting time wishing you were someone else. 90005 90025 22. Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself. 90026 90002 This English proverb about loving yourself is derived from the writing of the famous French Renaissance philosopher Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, Lord of Montaigne.It advises that you should not give all of your love away since you also need your own love. 90005 90025 23. Love thyself. 90026 90002 Short, sweet and to the point. This proverb means that you should love and accept yourself for who you are. 90005 90025 24. Trust me, but look to thyself. 90026 90002 This Irish proverb instructs that while you should trust others, you should first trust yourself and your instincts. 90005 90017 Lost Love 90018 90002 90174 90005 90025 25. All is fair in love and war.90026 90002 When it comes to love and war, apparently nothing is out of bounds. If someone does something terrible, it is more justified and potentially forgivable if it was done in the name of love or while at war. Versions of this proverb are found in many other languages. 90005 90002 In 1717, a more modern version of this proverb was written in William Taverner’s play «The Artful Husband» in the form of: «All advantages are fair in love and war.» 90005 90025 26. Love hurts. 90026 90002 This proverb applies to the emotional pain and stress experienced when one loses a lover or has a huge argument with someone they love.90005 90025 27. There are plenty more fish in the sea. 90026 90002 People commonly say this to someone after a breakup to remind them that there are many other eligible people available. 90005 90025 28. If you love someone, let them go. If they come back to you, they were really yours. 90026 90002 The meaning behind this proverb is that you can not force someone to love you. If you truly love someone, you must be willing to let them go. In the end, if they truly love you back, they will return to you.90005 90002 This is often said to someone who feels like they are struggling to keep their beloved partner. The struggle may be enough to push that person further away. Therefore, the person must let them go and give them a chance to choose whether or not they will return. 90005 90025 29. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. 90026 90002 This proverb is attributed to the English poet and playwright William Congreve.

Each of them making light of the greatest questions ever asked, and each with different «answers». Not only did they answer questions, but they took everything and formed a concise thought that explained eve 90003 This was absolutely the best book you can possibly read if you are a beginner Philosopher, or were like me and taking a Philosophy class in College.90002 I knew of only names of Philosophers, and by the end of this book I knew their souls, or what made up the soul that translated life into words. Each of them making light of the greatest questions ever asked, and each with different «answers». Not only did they answer questions, but they took everything and formed a concise thought that explained everything. So their answer to one thing would be based off their grand thought. 90003 90002 I remember when I read this book, it felt like my mind had expanded to the size of the universe.My brain had to; your thought must be so open and willing if your to fully understand the teachings of Philosophers. Those who know less, are the ones who «think» they know the most. 90003 90002 When I took the class, so many people would fight over an argument, even if the teacher asked hypothetical questions, like; «If god is all knowing, then he knows everything you will ever do, and teacher would ask,» if this was the case «,» Would not your life be stuck to Gods fate «. Pretty much Gods fate meant in 1 theory , that you had no choice, because God already knew which you would choose.(This is the type of stuff I am talking about, how your mind must expand if to ponder such possibilities) 90003 90002 I could have been like half the students who argued that we would still have choice and base pathetic little arguments based off what they thought they know, or I could be like the other half who said that they wanted to live Gods plan. I feel that since I read this book, I was able to look at the questions asked away from my human barriers, such as emotion, and really sit there and ponder the circumstances.Did I have an answer … no … but I was probably the only one who truly «understood» all sides of the concept, without emotionally decided on which I felt was best because I could write a 20 page essay on what I thought, maybe even a whole book, just on the 1 question! That is how powerful Philosophy can be, if you study those who founded it! 90003 90002 Anyways, out of all the books I found at public library, this was absolutely the best one. I do know of other great Philosophy books, I just remember this one changing my life more than any other.90003.90000 Chapter 2 90001 90002 Summary and Analysis Chapter 2 — The Economic Revolution 90003 90004 Summary 90005 90004 From the beginning of civilization, human beings have faced the challenge of survival, which depends upon two factors — work and cooperation with others. Since individuals are notably self-centered, the possibility that humans will not remain faithful to work has threatened society’s existence.If there are not enough miners to work the mines or if most miners should decide to follow another line of work; if farmers should decide to fish instead of plow and reap; or if an insufficient number of students studied medicine or engineering, the economy would break down. In summary, if the interdependence of human workers should fail at any vital point in the economy, the world would suffer. During the early portion of civilized life, only two methods safeguarded against such an outcome — tradition and command.90005 90004 90009 Tradition 90010 90005 90004 The passage of tasks, or jobs, from generation to generation through custom — a carpenter’s child becomes a carpenter or a farmer’s offspring take charge of the family farm. This reliance on tradition for the selection of a life’s work was especially true of the Middle Ages and is still true in many underdeveloped areas of the world. 90005 90004 90009 Command, or Central Authoritarian Rule 90010 90005 90004 The enforcement of economic survival by absolute rule or dictatorship.An example of this principle is the building of the pyramids in ancient Egypt and the carrying out of the Soviet Union’s Five-Year Plans in the post-World War II era. 90005 90004 Throughout most of history, one or the other of these two methods has solved the problem of survival. Because the methods are simple and need no economic explanation, there has been no need for economists. Since the Economic Revolution, however, the evolution of a third method — the market system — has presented a more challenging economic puzzle.90005 90004 90009 The Market System 90010 90005 90004 A system where buyers and sellers, motivated by self-gain, freely conduct business with the goal of making profits. Another name for this arrangement is capitalism. Prompted by neither the «pull of tradition or the whip of authority,» free markets are motivated by a single factor — the human urge to acquire goods. 90005 90004 The market system is not the simple exchange of goods which existed in primitive society, nor the commercial fairs of the Middle Ages.Nor is it a farm produce market or a stock exchange. The market system supports and maintains an entire society. Unplanned and slow to evolve, it was brought about through the most far-reaching revolution of the Western world — the Economic Revolution. 90005 90004 Many factors combined to cause the revolution, such as the breakup of the manorial system, the decline of guilds, the acceptance of the concepts of land, labor, and capital, the effects of the Renaissance, scientific advancement, European voyages of discovery and exploration, the emergence of modern nation-states, and the Protestant Reformation, which sanctioned the concept of profit.90005 90004 The market system emerged only after bitter opposition to change by the people who tried to maintain their role in the status quo. Nevertheless, as the profit motive became respectable, the market system took shape, bringing with it the economists who satisfactorily explained the complexities of the system. In 1776 рік, Adam Smith wrote his amazing masterpiece, 90033 Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations 90034, a work which helped society understand how changes in economics were leading toward a new plateau in human history.90005 90004 Analysis 90005 90004 Tradition, or the subsistence economy, bases itself on family, clan, or tribe. By this system, each unit produces all that it needs, and it consumes all that it produces. In many rural areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the question of who will work and what work will be assigned to whom is settled by custom. 90005 90004 The planned economy under central authoritarian rule differs from tradition in that the means of production and the authority to make economic decisions belong to the state.Examples existed in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, where massive work projects were organized at the whim of the ruling class. In more recent times, the communist nations which were formed after the Russian Revolution in 1917 have attempted the same large-scale operations as an outgrowth of a centralized authority. In neither instance did individuals actualize their own ideas or goals. 90005 90004 In the market system, or market economy, economic decisions are decentralized: Each member of the labor force chooses which job to follow; each household selects what to buy with its income; and each business decides what to produce, what production methods to use, and where to sell the resulting product.Modern examples exist in the United States, Western Europe, Japan, and Great Britain. This capitalism, which is also called a free or private enterprise system, is named for its use of capital, or investment funds. 90005 90004 None of the three methods, or systems, exists in pure form. Systems practiced today in the United States, Great Britain, Japan, or the Soviet Union are better described as mixed economies, which contain elements of both the market economy and the planned economy. For example, within free enterprise there are obvious government-sanctioned monopolies, such as electric power companies, railroads, and communications systems.90005 90004 In order to develop what is meant by the Economic Revolution and its roles in the remaining chapters of the book, a few definitions will prove helpful: 90005 90004 90009 Economics: 90010 The study of the ways in which human beings make a living; the study of human wants and their satisfaction; the science of wealth. 90005 90004 90009 Economic System: 90010 The rules, laws, customs, and principles which govern the operation of an economy. Each economic system has its own peculiar problems and therefore produces its own solutions.90005 90004 90009 Economic Activity: 90010 All action concerned with the creation and distribution of goods and services. 90005 90004 90009 Consumption: 90010 The process by which goods and services are utilized in satisfying human needs and wants. 90005 90004 90009 Production: 90010 The process of creating goods or services to be consumed. 90005 90004 90009 Distribution 90010 90005 90004 a. Physical: The process of transporting these goods and services to the people who need or want to consume 90005 90004 them.90005 90004 b. Personal: The division of income among persons. 90005 90004 c. Functional: The categorization of income according to type — wages, rent, interest, and profit. 90005 90004 90009 Basic Agents of Production of the Market System 90010 90005 90004 90009 Land: 90010 Natural resources. 90005 90004 90009 Labor: 90010 Human effort. 90005 90004 90009 Capital: 90010 The physical necessities for production — buildings, machinery, tools, equipment, and supplies. 90005 90004 Economists call these basic agents «factors of production.»They include a fourth factor — management, which plans, coordinates, and directs production, although some economists label this factor a specialized high-level form of labor. 90005 90004 The market system involves a high degree of economic activity, revolving around the production of goods and services. It is significant that the basic agents of production — land, labor, and capital — did not exist as abstract ideas until the Economic Revolution. Of course, there was land used for agriculture, and labor in the form of human workers doing physical tasks, and capital that provided funds for buying tools and maintaining the land.However, society as a whole did not consider these terms as impersonal ideas in the modern sense of «Let’s start a business — we need land for the location of the factory, we need a labor force to do the work, and we must have the capital to finance our efforts. » 90005 90004 During the Middle Ages, land existed in the form of estates, manors, and principalities, but it was not «for sale» in the modern sense. Instead, the ownership of land provided the prestige and status around which social life revolved.There were serfs, apprentices, and journeymen who worked, but there was no labor market — that is, people who were looking for jobs. The serfs were bound to the land of their masters, the lords. The apprentices and journeymen served the master and were rigidly controlled by guild regulations. Capital funds in the sense of private wealth existed, but not with any idea of ​​investing, expanding, or taking risks. The goal of medieval landholders was to stabilize and protect the nation by financing wars and conquests and by underwriting the household expenses of kings.A good example is the Fugger banking family of Bavaria, which failed to pursue the amassing of wealth begun by their patriarch, Anton Fugger. Under the medieval system, advertising was unheard of; the basis of price was the just price. People lived as their ancestors had lived — off the output of the family land. 90005 90004 Without land, labor, and capital there was no production in the modern economic sense and therefore no market system. Society in the Middle Ages was run by custom and tradition.This system changed after the Economic Revolution, which represented a radical departure in commercial practices and concepts. The following factors were responsible for the Economic Revolution, which ushered in the market system: 90005 90004 90009 The Renaissance 90010 (1350-1600) — when the weakening of restrictive religion produced a more skeptical, inquiring attitude. 90005 90004 90009 The Scientific Revolution 90010 (1500-1700) — the discovery of scientific principles which laid the foundations for the Industrial Revolution.90005 90004 90009 Emergence of Nation-States 90010 (15th-l7th centuries) — a process that gave rise to royal patronage for favored industries, maritime trade, and the standardization of laws, measurements, and currencies. 90005 90004 90009 The Age of Exploration and Discovery 90010 (l5th-l7th centuries) — an era which saw the rise of wealth in gold, silver, and raw resources from colonies in the New World. 90005 90004 90009 The Protestant Reformation 90010 (1500-1648) — an era which encouraged enterprise, the investment of capital, and the respectability of interest and profit.90005 90004 The greatest single change necessary for the adoption of the market system, or capitalism, was a radical change in the attitude of society toward profit, or self-gain. Without the profit motive, there would be no capitalism, or market system. 90005 90004 Certainly, the concepts of money and profit are old, with the first coined money dating back to Lydia, around 600 BC, and with such Greek philosophers as Xenophon, Plato, and Aristotle, who were well aware of wealth, money, and profit .However, rather than emphasize any economic considerations, the ancient philosophers denounced economics in favor of basic questions about truth, good, evil, God, and life. 90005 90004 Later, the Church and its philosophers, especially St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, were completely absorbed with the question of immortality. These religious thinkers emphasized salvation as the all-important concern of society and criticized the acquisition of earthly material goods or riches. And so it was that the New Testament phrase «For the love of money is the root of all evil» (I Timothy 6:10) blocked the development of the market system, which emphasized self-gain and profit rather than spirituality.90005 90004 Gradually, however, the factors listed above helped shape the market system. The Renaissance encouraged a new individualism in economic affairs and contributed to the breakdown of the guild system and to the rise of enterprise. Protestantism became a strong force in the alteration of concepts. Calvinism especially encouraged enterprise. Some Calvinists saw prosperity as a sign of God’s grace, and poverty as evidence of damnation. Thus the Protestant Reformation obliterated the old concept of the just price and the ban against charging interest on loans.Consequently, the loaning of money and the investment of capital became respectable, and Western society as a whole adopted the profit motive, an idea explained by Adam Smith, the father of modern economics. 90005 90004 Glossary 90005 90004 90009 Economics 90010 The study of the ways in which people make a living; the study of human wants and their satisfaction; the science of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. 90005 90004 90009 Economic System 90010 The rules, laws, customs, and principles which govern the operation of an economy.Each economic system has its own peculiar problems and therefore produces its own solutions. 90005 90004 90009 Economic Activity 90010 All action concerned with the creation of goods and services to be in some way consumed. 90005 90004 90009 Consumption 90010 The process by which goods and services are utilized in satisfying human needs and wants. 90005 90004 90009 Production 90010 The process of creating the goods or services to be consumed. 90005 90004 90009 Physical Distribution 90010 The process of getting goods and services into the hands of consumers.90005 90004 90009 Personal Distribution 90010 The division of income among individuals. 90005 90004 90009 Functional Distribution 90010 The division of income according to different types. . . wages rent, interest, profit. 90005 90004 90009 Basic Agents (Factors) of Production 90010 Land, labor, capital, and management 90005 90004 90009 Land 90010 Natural resources. 90005 90004 90009 Labor 90010 Human effort. 90005 90004 90009 Capital 90010 The physical necessities for production — buildings, machinery, tools, equipment, and supplies.This term commonly refers to the money used to purchase these necessities. 90005 90004 90009 Management 90010 The planning, coordination, and direction of production. 90005 90004 90009 The Economic Revolution 90010 The development of historical factors which culminated in the adoption of the market system (capitalism). 90005 90004 90009 The Renaissance 90010 (1350-1600) — the era which saw the decay of a restrictive religious spirit in favor of a spirit of skepticism and inquiry. 90005 90004 90009 The Scientific Revolution 90010 (1500-1700) — the period of scientific experimentation and discovery which laid the foundation for the Industrial Revolution.90005 90004 90009 The Emergence of Nation-States 90010 (l5th-l7th centuries) — a period giving rise to royal patronage for favored industries, maritime trade, common laws, standard measures, and common currencies. 90005 90004 90009 The Age of Exploration and Discovery 90010 (l5th-l7th centuries) — an era which provided natural wealth from the colonies in the form of gold, silver, and other raw resources. 90005 90004 90009 The Protestant Reformation 90010 (l500-1648) — a time period encouraging enterprise and the investment of capital; a philosophical outgrowth which made interest and profit respectable.90005 .
