In the beginning God created the heavens and earth, and about four billion years later, humankind. How did we initially fend for ourselves? What was our economic livelihood? How did we make it through this earth? We were hunters and gatherers. Before hunting and gathering came into full swing, and before the bow and arrow were perfected, people were gored by bulls.

The next great age of humankind was the age of agriculture; people learned they could plant seeds and have corn grow. Before the age of agriculture coalesced, people starved because there wasn't enough corn. After that age, came the age of industry--production, consumption, capitol goods, shipments, warehousing. Before the age of industry was in full swing, many people caught their fingers in the machines.
