The Worlds growth story

The entire economic history can be viewed along three big ideas that drove profits, investment and as an aftermath politics and change. The first big idea happened to be scientific thought. Someone started seeing the world from a different angle and people began to come out of dark ages. Lots of inventions were made and consequently the industrial revolution took place and those who invested in industrialization then, made lots of money. The idea was stretched a little to optimizing the production process. Most of the industrialized nations hunted for cheap labour and raw materials leading to colonialism and imperialism. Powerful countries backed their merchants and traders and tapped into the natural resources of Africa and Asia to exploit them. The margins and the huge potential for further exploitation made production a plump investment. The second big idea was war.

I will have to smile and wish my boss good morning while stifling a deep urge to strike him with the first object within my reach that can cause irreparable damage to his cerebrum. 2. I am expected to be coy and chivalrous with those overfed; heavily perfumed HR bimbos dressed in ill fitting western outfits and massage their bloated egos to make sure that they don't turn their misappropriated power of I-can-screw-anyone’s-happiness towards me.
