n. 1.
1. Habitual diligence in any employment or pursuit, either bodily
or mental; steady attention to business; assiduity; - opposed to
sloth and idleness; as, industry pays debts, while idleness or despair
will increase them.
We are more industrious than our forefathers, because in the present

the maintenance of idleness, than they were two or three centuries
ago.
- A. Smith.

For other uses of this term, see Industry (disambiguation)
An industry is an area of economic production which involves large
amounts of upfront capital investment before any profit can be realized.
The
most successful industries in a given sector tend, to be either
companies started with a great deal of seed money, or early innovators
of some new technology brought first to market, so that a great
deal of capital can be quickly raised from sales for further research
into technological improvements.
Industry
became a key sector of production in European and North American
countries during the Industrial Revolution, which upset previous
mercantile and feudal economies through many successive rapid advances
in technology, such as the development of steam engines, power looms,
and advances in large scale steel and coal production. Industrial
countries then assumed a capitalist economic policy. Railroads and
steam-powered ships began speedily integrating previously impossibly-distant
world markets, enabling private companies to develop to then-unheard
of size and wealth. Following the Industrial Revolution, perhaps
a third of world's economic output is derived from industry - more
than agriculture's share, but now less than that of the service
sector.
In
economics and urban planning, industrial is an intensive type of
land use and economic activity involved with manufacturing and production.
Marxism and IndustryControl of industry became a key point of Marxist
theory. The labor theory of value holds that the worth of a given
object exists only because of the work that somebody has exerted
to set it into its current state or form. Unimproved, natural objects
such as trees and rocks generally have little value; but if wood
is carved into a piano, or rocks are built into a house, then the
resulting object suddenly has value because of this labor.
Marxists
hold that the relationship between the bourgeois capitalist class
- those wealthy enough to invest significant capital in industry
- and the proletarian laborers who work for them is fundamentally
parasitic; that the capitalists, in essence, receive free money
far beyond their original investment by paying workers far less
than the full value of the objects that their labor produces. Marxists
therefore advocate that the workers themselves should own the means
of production - capital assets such as factories and equipment used
for production. In Leninist countries such as the Soviet Union,
this plan was implemented by making all capital assets owned by
the state collective - theoretically, by the workers themselves.
Maoism,
the economic philosophies of Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong,
agrees with previous Marxist thought on industry, but prescribes
a different solution. Instead of workers or the collective owning
the factories, Maoism advocates a resettlement of the populace into
rural areas and a return to a decentralized agrarian way of life.
Stalin
forced a rapid industrialization of the (then mostly agrarian) Soviet
Union in the years before World War II with his Five Year Plans.
Worldwide Industrial DistributionMost industrial output remains
in the manufacturing sector, especially in the First World, though
construction and mining remain substantial components overall.
