	Machinery manufacturing
		Machinery encompasses a vast range of products, ranging from huge industrial machines costing millions of dollars to the common lawn mower, but all machinery has one common defining feature: it either reduces or eliminates the amount of human work required to accomplish a task.
		Machinery manufacturing establishments will be seeking to hire more highly skilled workers, especially persons with good basic educational skills that make the good candidates to be trained for the high skilled job of twenty-first century manufacturing.
		Machinery is important for all industries because it boosts their productivity, and advances in technology will make machinery even more efficient and thus more desirable.

	Industrial machinery installation, repair, and maintenance workers, except millwrights
		Machinery mechanics use their understanding of the equipment, technical manuals, and careful observation to discover the cause.
		Because factories and other facilities cannot afford to have industrial machinery out of service for long periods, mechanics may be called to the plant at night or on weekends for emergency repairs.
		Employment of industrial machinery mechanics and maintenance workers is projected to grow more slowly than the average for all occupations through 2014.

	The dotCommunist Manifesto
		But it is acknowledged by all the Powers of Globalism that the movement for freedom is itself a Power, and it is high time that we should publish our views in the face of the whole world, to meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Free Information with a Manifesto of our own.
		Like the ancien régime in France, which believed that feudal property could be maintained by conservative force of law despite the modernization of society, the owners of bourgeois culture expect their law of property to provide a magic bulwark against the forces they have themselves released.
		Theirs is the revolutionary dedication to freedom: to the abolition of the ownership of ideas, to the free circulation of knowledge, and the restoration of culture as the symbolic commons that all human beings share.

	Communist Manifesto (Chapter 1)
		Owing to the extensive use of machinery, and to the division of labour, the work of the proletarians has lost all individual character, and, consequently, all charm for the workman.
		Nay more, in proportion as the use of machinery and division of labour increases, in the same proportion the burden of toil also increases, whether by prolongation of the working hours, by the increase of the work exacted in a given time or by increased speed of machinery, etc.
		The increasing improvement of machinery, ever more rapidly developing, makes their livelihood more and more precarious; the collisions between individual workmen and individual bourgeois take more and more the character of collisions between two classes.

	Freedom Above: Revisiting Space Settlement
		Linking space settlement to freedom is not atypical in libertarian circles, even if there are not a few libertarians who readily dismiss the idea because they believe that space exploration, travel, and settlement are currently impractical and likely to remain so for a long time to come.
		In either case, the total amount of freedom is likely to be a lot less than even now – and now is hardly ideal.
		In other words, those interested in freedom in the long-range, in the survival of humanity, and in the survival of civilization should think seriously about space migration and settlement.

	Quotations Book: Subject - Machinery
		"Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few.
		In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize."
		"If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect.

	George Walford on Anarcho-Capitalism and the Free Market
		The anarcho-capitalists simply take it for granted that in their favoured society, although it possesses no machinery for restraining competition (for this would need to exercise authority over the competitors and it is an _anarcho_- capitalist society) competition would not be carried to the point where anybody actually suffered from it.
		This view is valid, but within limits; freedom as the market has known it in the past is no longer attainable; it disappeared for good when the need to defend it was accepted.
		The choice now does not lie between freedom and control but between two types of control, that of the left, intended to subject the market to other influences, and that of the right, intended to preserve the freedom of the market.

	Spreading Freedom Around the World
		But even though that is so—and even though there is more freedom today than there was 30 years ago—I would not belittle the challenges we face today to spreading freedom around the world.
		As Ronald Reagan said, “freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.” Indeed, it is true that, although the longing for liberty may be universal, it is not guaranteed.
		There must be protections for freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of worship, and freedom to own property.

	Turing Machines (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		If a function is not Turing-computable it is because Turing machines lack the computational machinery to carry it out, not because of a lack of spatio-temporal resources.
		Talk of "tape" and a "read-write head" is intended to aid the intution (and reveals something of the time in which Turing was writing) but plays no important role in the definition of Turing machines.
		In situations where a formal analysis of Turing machines is required, it is appropriate to spell out the definition of the machinery and program in more mathematical terms.

	Habermas's Idea of the Theory of Knowledge as Social Theory
		It has its psychic unity outside itself and its material unity subordinated to the unity of machinery, of fixed capital, which is grounded in the object.
		The institutional framework that resists a new stage of reflection (which, it is true, is prompted by the progress of science established as productive force) is not immediately the result of a life that has been rigidified to the point of abstraction: in Hegel's phenomenological language, a form of the manifestation of consciousness.
		Emancipation from the compulsion of internal nature succeeds to the degree that institutions based on force are replaced by an organisation of social relations that is bound only to communication free from domination.

	Will The End of Oil Mean The End of America?
		The alternative to Grab the Oil is to dispense with the hobbling dependency on oil itself and to quickly wean the country off of it.
		And in spiritual terms, it is the choice of hope, freedom and purpose over fear, dependency and despair.
		Unless, that is, we find the vision, the wisdom and the courage to let go that handful of paltry treats and choose freedom instead.

	Critique by Paul Wakfer of: David D. Friedman's Machinery of Freedom, Ch. 43
		This is the third of three essays of comment on the chapters of The Machinery of Freedom: Guide to a Radical Capitalism, by David Friedman, (MoF) which I (Paul Antonik Wakfer) consider to be the most important for libertarian theory among those chapters of MoF which are online.
		There seems to be a close correlation between rules that make people free and rules that make them happy; that is why it is the East Germans and not the West Germans who erect barbed wire fences and guard towers on their common border.
		However, precisely because of the "deep connection between freedom and happiness" it is a necessary one.

		"The Machinery of Freedom" is structured as a series of short essays, all discussing a small part of the overall picture.
		The essays are not academically rigorous — Friedman claims that such a style tends to interfere with coherent presentation of an argument, and I think he's correct.
		Although I was a libertarian before reading "The Machinery of Freedom", it is obvious that it profoundly effected my thinking.

		This proposal has been defended successfully again and again, in journal articles, in my MIT doctoral thesis [the basis of "Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation," John Wiley and Sons (1992)].
		These issues are explored in technical depth in my book "Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation" (Wiley/Interscience, 1992), which describes the physical basis for desktop-scale nanofactories able to build atomically precise macroscopic products, including more nanofactories.
		Synthetic reactions and molecular machinery of the sort required for nanofactories have parallels in known systems, and have been explored using computational chemistry by Georgia Institute of Technology professor Ralph Merkle and others.

	F.5 Will privatising "the commons" increase liberty?
		Thus, it is clear, that with the privatisation of "the commons" the right to roam, to travel, would become a privilege, subject to the laws and rules of the property owners.
		Therefore, freedom of speech, assembly and a host of other liberties we take for granted would be reduced (if not eliminated) under a right-"libertarian" regime.
		As Peter Marshall notes, "[i]n the name of freedom, the anarcho-capitalists would like to turn public spaces into private property, but freedom does not flourish behind high fences protected by private companies but expands in the open air when it is enjoyed by all" [Demanding the Impossible, p.

	David Friedman: Radical capitalist or utilitarian apologist? The Machinery of Freedom \| Samizdata.net
		In 'The Machinery of Freedom', Friedman adopts a second route towards an anarcho-capitalist future, by creating transitional libertarian policies capable of being put to democratic voters in party-political elections.
		It is of a piece with but actually one step beyond the accusatory use of the "r" word and the imposition of PC attitudes on the white adult population.
		David Friedman has webbed sample chapters of The Machinery of Freedom on his website, along with other book chapters (& one or two entire books of his) and various articles.

		It thus attaches great importance to private enterprise and the freedom of the individual in political, social, and economic affairs.
		The excellent bilateral relations are based on close historical and cultural ties as well as a common dedication to individual freedom and human rights.

	BlackCrayon.com: Dictionary: Defintion of "liberalism"
		Most on the left think of themselves, and probably sincerely, as "democratic socialists," as believers in a blend of socialism.
		Libertarians hold that vision to be self-contradictory, and democracy, freedom of speech, and socialism to be ultimately incompatible.
		A liberal may believe that freedom is a matter for the individual alone and that the role of the state should be minimal, or he may believe that freedom is a matter for the state and that the state can and should be used as an instrument to promote it.
