ABSTRACT
Although Social Control belief systems have always claimed otherwise, people throughout the world can, on the average, be trained to be equally productive. All it takes is an education and the opportunity. Money spent building new industry to produce new products or services of continually higher values is continually spent horizontally for products and services that continually increase the economic activity of a newly industrializing nation. The industrial/agricultural ratio of a nation or region can vary greatly depending on the abundance or lack of natural resources. Besides wealth being accumulated by the powerful while the weak are impoverished through conquest and open confiscation of their wealth, loss of title to their lands, the abolition of their right to a voice in their own destiny, and then through enforced dependency and unequal trades, wealth can be accumulated by open destruction of a defeated nation's wealth to make a commodity scarce and the world dependent upon the monopolized source.
