Definition: Capitalism n. 1. To turn everything into garbage as fast as possible and extract as much gold as practical in the process.
Although this definition is cynical it emphasizes a part of industrial manufacturing that we conveniently ignore: Waste and Garbage. When a house is constructed, there is probably four times as much garbage waste product (by weight) as there is house, if you also consider the remote manufacturing and transportation necessary to create the building materials used.
