2 Which will make it possible to do all kinds of things that will lead to other brand-new things,
3 And so on,
4 And so forth,
5 aUntil there will be gigantic factories that use engines to make power to drive gigantic machines to make more things in less time than you would ever believe possible,
6 bWhich means that the factories will need gigantic amounts of coal to fuel the engines to make the power…
7 And so forth,
8 And so on,
9 Which means that the engines will also be needed to power gigantic new transportation things,
10 Called ctrains,
11 dWhich will be able to move fast enough and far enough on steel tracks to provide enough coal to more gigantic factories than you would ever be able to imagine,
12 Without standing on a chair, anyway,
13 eSo that the factories will be able to make power to drive machines…
14 fAnd so forth,
15 gAnd so on,
16 Which means that the cities where the factories have to be located so that they can be close enough to the trains so that they can have enough coal (and so forth) will need a lot more people living in them,
17 hSo that there will be enough people living in the cities to run all the gigantic machines in all the gigantic factories,
18 So that the gigantic factories can make enough new things in large enough numbers to create enough wealth,

19 So that the people who use their capital to create wealth will want to build even more gigantic factories with even more gigantic machines,
20 So that…
21 Et cetera,
22 And so forth.
23 Is this interesting so far?
24 Good.
CHAPTER 81 As you may have guessed by now,
2 There will be a certain snowball effect to your ideas,
3 Which will cause the industrial revolution to be a kind of explosion,
4 In reverse,
5 So that almost overnight, the cities will become full of people,
6 And gigantic factories,
7 iAnd gigantic clouds of coal smoke,
8 And gigantic concentrations of capital,
9 jCalled corporations,
10 Which will actually change the foundations of civilized life,
11 As we know it.
CHAPTER 91 kFor example, there will come a day when there are more people who live in cities than in the country,
2 Whether you can believe this or not,
3 And people will want to sell the farm and start a factory,
4 Because they will discover that you can make more money by making things than by growing things,
