Because these transactions were rare it was common to use barter exchange rather than having a common form of payment like we use today. Barter exchange would involve a direct swapping of products and service and requires a buyer to track down a seller.

    Star Wars

    George Lucas’s Star Wars revived old myths and elements that would prove to transcend time and generations. Not simply the special effects, acting, or characters but mostly the story itself has the greatest influence on the film. Focusing on the dynamic character Luke Skywalker, travelling through an experience unprepared for, and watching his epiphany-like growth creates the film’s utmost accomplishment: a tangible relationship between the character and the movie goer. As a recurring war movie

The slave society of the South in 1860 was a different economic order from the free-labor North. Riding on the extraordinary wealth, breadth, and reach of "King Cotton," which was worth more than all other American exports combined, the South simply did not develop the manufacturing, transportation, or financial-services sectors that had characterized northern economic growth since 1790.

    The Entrepreneur in Economics

    Current economic research denies the innate characteristics of the entrepreneur. Rather than attributing economic growth and innovation to personality traits, economists would rather advocate a form of economic determinism: if an aggressive personality dominated an industry, economists try to explain the characteristics of the industry that made aggression a successful strategy. Economic models are contrived to remove the personality from the entrepreneur, to make all entrepreneurial decisions predestined, given enough time. However, to deny Bill
