the same specialist stress involved much reliance on slave 
labor, there was spectacular increase of production. But the 
armies of technologically specialized slaves working the land 
blighted the social existence of the independent yeomen and 
small farmers, and led to the strange world of the Roman 
towns and cities crowded with rootless parasites.

     To a much greater degree than Roman slavery, the 
specialism of mechanized industry and market organization has 
faced Western man with the challenge of manufacture by 
monofracture, or the tackling of all things and operations one-
bit-at-a-time. This is the challenge that has permeated all 
aspects of our lives and enabled us to expand so triumphantly 
in all directions and in all spheres.
