The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.
In the 18th century James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny and Richard Arkwright pioneered the water-propelled spinning frame which led to the mass production of cotton. This was truly revolutionary. The cotton manufacturers created a whole new class of people - the urban proletariat. The structure of society itself would never be the same.
The society based on production is only productive not creative.
Carl took on the military-industrial complex. He campaigned around the world for an end to the production of weapons of mass destruction. To him it was a perversion of science.
Except in very narrow cases where there's breakthrough science that needs patent production worrying about competitors is a waste of time. If you can't out iterate someone who is trying to copy you you're toast anyway.
I've started a company called Tall Girl Productions and we've got our first project that is purely producing not writing with a writer named Evan Daugherty. It's for NBC it's called 'Afterthought ' and it's science fiction-ish. That's fun.
The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.
Money is a tremendous advantage in just about everything but in terms of reproduction if you're a poor woman and you are infertile it's like too bad so sad. And if you are a wealthy woman you can kind of buy whatever you want.
I'm always most excited about the job I'm doing at the present and that's especially true about 'Price' because of my respect for the show and it's production team.
For behind the scenes halfway around the world in Mexico were two decades of aggressive research on wheat that not only enabled Mexico to become self-sufficient with respect to wheat production but also paved the way to rapid increase in its production in other countries.
