Notes

1
Robert Hitchcock, as cited in Catharina Lis and Hugo Soly's
Worthy Efforts: Attitudes to Work and Workers in Pre-Industrial Europe
(Boston: Brill, 2012). In 1580, Hitchcock, “an Oxfordshire gentleman,” proposed forming a fleet of four hundred herring boats to employ ten thousand of the poor.

This would be analogous to blaming the financial crisis on bankers' laziness.

4
Not to be confused with Object Oriented Programming, also abbreviated as OOP.

The study, “Global Capital, the State, and Chinese Workers: The Foxconn Experience” details the horrific conditions in which the workers who make Apple products must live and work. It reveals Apple's complicity in keeping wages low and worker rights to a minimum. Before you buy your next über-cool Apple product or read Walter Isaacson's gushing biography of Steve Jobs, I highly recommend reading this study, available for free online.

As a scientist, I am interested in measuring things. I have been studying measurements for nearly fifteen years. Granted, I'm usually measuring things like brain waves. I am not an economist, though, and when I try (albeit not very hard because it's boring) to understand measurements like the GDP it becomes very clear why. I cannot understand what is really being measured or how it is being measured. For example, we often hear that China has been experiencing exceptional economic growth. China has been increasing its output of goods and services at a rate of about ten percent every year. According to this measurement, every year there are ten percent more goods and services in China than the year before. Does this include things like hamburgers, massages, weddings, and drug dealers? China is also a great example of the theme of this chapter: unchecked economic growth leads to environmental disaster—even in the short term.
