Rise /Fall Society
What are the options?
Business as usual – This action is of course where the society has been for
generations while keeping the un equal power bases a float. More of the same
is simply the pushing away from Gods word and eventually dividing the
country to the point of a governing breakdown.
The Sharing of power - In a society of greed, corruption, hatred lies, dirty
money and politics there is no real confidence; the sharing of power is not an
option. The in securities of fragile positions and the global community
peering through and beyond the superficial smoke screen has placed
limitations on the scheme that has all but totally wiped out the possibilities of
peace, love, joy , happiness and basic human and civil rights.
A new deal - A new deal could save the society however there appears to be a
major problem; the old system of things didn’t include the true and living God
in their plan of deception and trickery. Thus any new deal that has not the
founding fathers wisdom of one nation under God is un American. At present
the satanic Cult and its followers run amuck .The chances of a new deal
appears to be slim to none.
Will the start of a new war divert our attention as in the past – It’s a very real
possibility except we don’t have any one that believes in the country enough to
fight for what it stands for. Mothers will not allow their sons to be drafted; the
old men are tired and old and in some cases simply have been treated so lowly
that they preach to their off spring, it’s simply not worth it. Perhaps some of
the mothers will enlist, I don’t think so, and there is no confidence.

Rise /Fall Society
How about marshal law - Now this is a real possibility perhaps with a new
world order! The problem is due to the hatred, distrust and the oppression of
people, every body has arms including the children. Folk simply don’t believe.
How can you change that? You can’t but God can. However you have to be a
society that believes in God and live it.
So what is the answer – Perhaps its more talk – two schemes , or more people
of color set ups , more lies , more hate crimes, print more dirty money and
make more cell phone calls. Pray, and take a closer walk with God. But hurry,
you don’t have much time. Things have changed and the system process is
now on the clock, God almighty has the signs – not man.
The modern day rise of the system
America the land of the free and home of the brave, so What’s in it for me? History is
indeed the tail of the tape. Any society and its people are the producks of the efforts of
the past and potential of the benefits of its present efforts.
The American dream was at one time an American reality now it is simply a dream
that has very little meaning or confidence.
The family farm no longer exists, there is job shortages but even worse is the fact that
many members of society refuse to work, refuse to pay taxes and could care less about
government. Simply put, what's in it for me?
For any system to rise above its competitors it must have a greater out put of
resources, services and products that it’s in ports. Thus the equation is in the favor of the
society on top of the technology, social programs, and the society that allows and
encourages creativity for improving at home and abroad.

Rise /Fall Society
At one time line this society was a leader as was Rome and other society’s .What
happened? It is first the relationship with God, and receiving his blessing. How ever on
earth and in mans short comings it is the balance that has turned the tides of civilization.
The balance of production, the equalization of treatment or standard of basic human
rights, the un balanced wealth distribution, The balance of food, clothing and shelter, the
balance of home and world confidence, the balance of power here and abroad and the
balance of good and evil.
The scale has tipped toward un just, greed, hatred and the substitute of head games
instead of real world’s contribution to a global competitive arena. Thus the world status,
perception and credibility have been lost and with out the confidence of the common folk
the future is hopeless.
The true believer walks by faith, the true country on the rise builds and instills faith
and confidence, thus the changing of the guard is now in motion.
The counter part Great Britain has as yet stood the test of time, yet its off spring has
all but placed the global arena the mists of a global loss of confidence. Is the society
worth it?
One might examine the build up of weapons, power struggles of oil reserves and the
demands of the new world leaders that at least at present to be un stoppable. We no that
the rise of civilization has a peak before the fall and realize the symptoms of a major
decline of said society.
Maintaining the edge - The period at which American controlled the automobile,
held the technology edge, and its people maintained the highest quality of life was the
peak of its civilization run.

Rise /Fall Society
The way in which the country was founded or taken (which ever applies) reflects on
the length of the rise. As most know and believe the country was developed with certain
rights, freedoms and beliefs that sustained the country through the tough years and
independence and the slave trade.
Only when the foundations of the new founded system are at play does the system
thrive and produce. As more of the freedoms and basic founding principles are
disproved, the less affect of the governing body, the less confidence and the more
globally divided.
The decline – Just as the rise of a civilization has milestones and basic foundations
so does the fall. God is always first in a modern civilization. There may be holy wars land
disputes, different cultures and attitudes but the on going fact ,the un wavering evidence
is that God Is and will always be the foundation. Simply put, with out God you have a fall
of the society.
A divided house can not and will not stand, it’s that simple. Is this society divided?
Perhaps most or all societies are divided to some point but perhaps a society with so
many different cultures and back grounds simply can’t afford the segment divisions.
A look at the realities suggest that culture, age, demographics, color, status, religion
and many other factors impact the system process more than one would care to
acknowledge.
Each person you meet has a cell phone, a church, a set of values, beliefs, and
justification for being a child of God. When the nation was on the rise these elements
were noted as freedoms however now there are differences and divisions that have
impacted the rise and fall of the society.

for rise. There is nothing that can really be done about it with out the divine intervention
God.
The problem is that the majority of society has lost the spiritual connection and thus
the true and living God and his direction has be cast aside for the doctrine of Satan and
the hatred, lies and implementation of crimes that has place the society on the course it is
now on with very little hope of turning things around.
Perhaps the reason this country did not last as long as the UK and other countries is
that the technology does not permit secrets .Moreover what ever crimes that are
implemented are transmitted around the globe at the touch of a button. Thus as a society
you can not only talk the talk, you must walk the walk.

It has become clear that what is now working isn’t working however what folk are
seeking is simply something different. It doesn’t seem to matter what the difference is as
long as it is not the same song and dance.
So what does this really mean, it means that the state of the world is confused and
there is no solve for the equation as per what is next. Moreover this is also an opportune

Rise /Fall Society
time line for those who wish to try out new business schemes, religious gathering and
above all else to test the real intelligence of a give society as to how much the people of a
given society are pre occupied with living when indeed they are not living at all.
We see it everywhere from the so called politics, the education process, and the job
market and even in some places of worship. Some feel it is about the money however one
can ask the question as to what money is and what is its true value?
Is the money life or simply a piece of printed paper that is worthless until a society or a
portion of a given society breaths life in to it by exhibiting confidence that the printed
paper is a symbol of the faith of said society and its people.
So where can people turn to if there is no longer confidence in the old system that has
finally divided the society to the point that the system itself simply represents dirty
politics and racial divisions that can no longer be swept aside by more ploys and tricks.
Moreover as the globe becomes more and more competitive and less dependent of the
alpha society a change in the balance of power has already taken place.
Thus the status, quality of life and simply basic principals of the alpha society no
longer have meaning and thus an all but total meltdown of the society has taken affect.
There is no quick fix however should there be a fix at all and any pretense of patch
work on the confidence will indeed need to prove beyond the test of time that it can not
only regain the confidence of the people of the given society but deliver unquestioned
benefits that include the poorest of the down society.
This becomes even more complex as loss of world status and increased racial
divisions within the society threaten not only stability but the very existence of the
society.

What happened? Simply put the old gray mare an’t what she use to be and this is
compounded by greed, un checked racial issues and un resolved issues of leadership
confidence.
To add to the society down fall the issues of inequality, the lack of training, education
and discipline of the next generation has placed the society at a juncture at which there is
very little recourse. The global competition is simply too stiff.
Thus in all actuality a society that has decline to the point of no return must by all
accounts rely on other more stable and focused economies and societies.
The head games and divisions of class and race have reached the outer edge of the
envelope and there is not enough confidence within the society to buy in to the next
scheme.
More over as the technology and other elements advance forward there are no longer
the lag times for schemes to unfold and thus information at the touch of a button
diminishes the affect of not expressing the truth and implementing color schemes as a
means to control targeted segments of society.

INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE,REQUIRES INVESTING IN OUR CITIZENS
IT’S A GIVEN (LESSONS LEARNED)
WISDOM PUBLISH 2008-2020
Gene R. Booker
It would appear that somewhere along the line the process of the business exchange
has indeed lost its magical charm; the inter-twine of the mutual exchange no longer sustains the pulse of the global trade or the local pulse of the modern society.
The symptoms can indeed be seen and felt around the globe and at present as with
health care and other elements of the global society, there is no cure all /fix all solution.
Thus the alarm is once again sounding as the common man; the element
Of society that has the least amount of control of the set of circumstances indeed reflects
that he still has the buying power.
The conditions and quality of the business climate of any given set of societies ,at any
given time tends to directly correlate as per the level of satisfaction of exchange of
products and services, the degree of stakeholders to influence such conditions and
circumstances and the confidence of stated society members that the business process at
some point will not only improve ,but deliver on time, adjust not to the over all market

scheme ,for this does not address stake holder issues ,but to address the current and future
expectations of those seeking goods and services on a fair market basics.
Thus it is of great importance that the leaders of the product/supply exchange not only
meet the customer expectations, but also instill the confidence and or trust in the business
process to the degree of fore seeable growth with the ability to capture global
stakeholders as per the evidence exhibited from the home investment base.
Wisdom Publish is an effort to communicate some of the affects and elements that have
impacted, and continue to impact the way real-world business interact. The intent is to
spot light likes and differences of past and present business elements, and perhaps share
real-world fixes or possible creative policies, ventures, regulations that may suggest a re-
thinking of the way we create, implement and deliver the business process.

This effort is communicated through trueness and is set at the tone of basic beliefs in
one’s self and fore most part the confidence in one’s spirit. Thus the tone is set to the
business of examining business and market practices and schemes that have occurred in
past efforts, present events and possible future tie in’s to past and present as per the
enhancement of the over-all business/market structure, function, service to stakeholders
and the return on investment.
The hope is that the informed reader/researcher takes away from the information
concepts, or thought imprints that at some point will jointly help to raise the value of the
present business element and thus aids to regain the leadership that was indeed the mark
of the greatest society on the globe.
For some of us life tends to be a river that flows as dictated by nature or perhaps made events that
affect the quality ,quantity, and thinking abilities of those that have yet to conquer their very own
fears ,relationship with their higher power or perhaps an element as simple as building confidence in
one’s self.
At times one seeks those things that indeed inspire the inner most soul or spirit to motivate, to drive,
to act and to at the lowest point, simply to be. One could ponder the question as to how or why some
folk appear to live life to the fullest while others tend to accept whatever is give or offered. At some
point one might come to the conclusion that what ever is to be, is to be, perhaps of the power of the
13

creator or perhaps the power the creator has placed in each individual, the point is, just do it, if it feels
right and the spirit of the living God has indeed touched the spirit, indeed it should be done.
Some spend a life time seeking to please the whelms of those less blessed and more of the spirit of
darkness. The problem is that the prince of darkness only executes the power of darkness as per the
weakness of ones spirit.
Simply put the more time away from the word, the true believes or even the true house of worship
of a true and living God, the more one is open to the elements of darkness. Usually one finds that as
Satan executes the evil of darkness, it is done in a fashion to make some one else look good or someone
else to benefit.
However in all reality the person or persons are cloaking as good to execute, For indeed the deeds of
darkness are set to deceive.
It thus stands to reason that at some point the truth, the light and all that is so called dirty will indeed
come forth. Thus there are indeed times a good God fearing saint or believer can just stand on the
trueness, the pureness of the living word of a living God.
Of course this is not easy for much of the time, the lies, the dirty money and other evil elements
over-ride the faith of many believer and thus many believes miss out on their blessings.

One might pose the question as to what exactly does it take to stand on the word of God? Does it
take faith, wisdom, knowledge, a relationship with the higher power, money or do we as saints have a
clue?
Perhaps a good place to start is to know who we are and who we serve, thus we as believers can,
with the aid of the higher power pray for a relationship with the living God. One might find that after
praying and or seeking for this relationship with the creator, it simply is not enough; it may appear that
some element is still missing, and perhaps it is. For some this relationship will need to be spiritually
feed, nourished, re-enforced, en-courage, or perhaps taught.
This is where some of the believers feel there is a problem. Where can a believer or any one seeking
trueness or the word of the living God and actually be not only be helped, but told the truth too.
Moreover, the truth equals power for the true believers and thus the unity of the saints or those that
believe on a true and living please God with a pure and clean heart mind soul and spirit. However all is
not as simple as it sounds for some of the believer feel strongly that Satan has influence in some of the
places of worship and on some of the leadership of those for the light. This indeed presents another
problem.
How does one discern spirits of good and evil? Some pray, others live and learn, many seek teachers
or ministers guidance, and yet some simply have the gifts to feel in their inner spirit as to light or
darkness with in a person.
There are those of us that can walk into a church for the first time of perhaps meet some one for the
first and right off the bat, we can tell if the spirits are in agreement or of the same spirit.

The author tends to lean on the Book of Proverbs as a book of wisdom when one is seeking truth
and understanding. Key is being able to listen, to execute the truth, seek out those that have the true
knowledge, re-enforce your spirit by constant exposure of the true and living word and true and living
God.
Learn not only when to speak, but what to speak and how to reference what you speak to the word.
Pray as if your life actually depends, for this may very well be the case for many of the believers.
Seek a help mate that believes as you believes, serves as serve and prays as you pray. It is not only
true that a house divided will not stand, but as help mates, you either increase or have power to do
Gods will or you are divided and thus have a weak union and no power.
It is also very much true that birds of a father ,flock together, thus surround your self with God
fearing people that not only en-courage you ,but aid to up lift your spirit. Also be able to make a
decision ,if you are in a situation ,relationship or a set of circumstances that doesn’t enhance you and
your relationship with the creator, simply un-load .This is important as the longer the negative set of
circumstances are apart of your life, the more of a liability these conditions impact on you.
Be sure and always seek the truth, it really is the light ,and remember that at times after seeking the
truth ,chose the proper time to communicate, (chose your battles).
As with any child of the kingdom there are certain factors that one may want to consider: A.
Education is important, higher academics can improve quality of life and aid in delivering the message
of the Good News.
B. Know that there is no substitute for common sense, street sense or sometimes termed
mother wit sense.

C. Moving around ,meeting other
people of faith, visiting other countries even,
learning new languages or experiences other
cultures enhances the ability of communication the message.
Wisdom is perhaps knowing enough to fear the word of God .The education of the wisdom process
should take place at conception for indeed one is absorbing, learning , processing, changing /adapting
and seeking some type of process, activity, or action.

Thus it would prudent to stimulate this process at an early age. For teaching and conditioning
processes, the best stages suited for the precepts for the wisdom process is K-6.
This process should be conducted by those that have a handle of the conditioning process and have
the scope and insight of future trends, progressions, and mind –sits. This age group is suggested before
the head games are implemented and the minds have not been contaminated.
There may very well be some truth that wisdom can be attained from the past. For this reason and
others the researcher will incorporate some history based knowledge ,information, business schemes,
business processes and simply lessons learned in an effort to compare system processes, seek lessons
learned and perhaps positively impact the current market conditions or business environment .
This will be the first volume devoted to the business aspect of the market, and the natural investors,
customers and improving the interactive process. The purpose or reasoning for this undertaking is to
reflect on past practices, experiences.
Some feel that business in the US and other areas of the globe occur and interacts in cycles and thus
certain elements may be termed as constant, while others may appear as variables that exhibit
predictable patterns, or with some imagination one can create a trend for present business exchanges
implementing the past as a comparative model that may be adjusted to current market conditions.
Moreover, those that would have access to high level technology may apply the gathered data and or
research in a fashion to construct a simulation model incorporating elements of repeated trends or
patterns with the lessons learned from those before us.

In any given business society there is usually a period of down time .This time is created as per the
conditions of a given society ,it resources at the time frame, the effectiveness of the leadership, the
infrastructure, its dependency on those around the society ,and the ability to adapt and change.
However one element is becoming of interest for those that have paid attention to the lessons
learned of the past. The lesson can be termed one of the old/new business key indicators as per business
wisdom. Its’ confidence in the business element, how to increase confidence, how to restore confidence
and above all how to create confidence.
One is not pressed at all to seek out large scale bail outs, scandals in today’s markets and these
breaks in confidence impact business markets on a global scale. At some point one might as to if the
majority of the public ever really moves beyond the disappointments.
The history of business has been a good indicator of why the market trends vary. It may be
compared to the plot or graph of a business organization over time from start, to peak, to the downward
trend and finally, for most the end of the business.
Certainly, time value of money is a current factor and a wisdom key for the businessman; however
the confidence of the process is increasingly becoming an important element of the business process.
At this juncture one might examine some of the factors of influence that have not only shaped the
keys of business success or failure, but may in all reality impact the interaction of the current market.
• Change of Technology (from manual labor intensive, simplex machines, computer based
networking, to creating whatever one can imagine).
• The World Wars have impacted the business for during the early periods the men were sent off
to serve in some cases and the women and some children entered the work force (This became

These activities can implemented on different levels as per the level of resources available at any
given time to or for any given society, the confidence of all stakeholders the flux drive impacts and the
ability of those that are placed in control positions of such flux drive to create, implement, lead and
persuade the opposite stakeholders of the worth of the process and the ability of the goods and services
exchanged to maintain value/worth for a pre determined /acceptable time line.
flux & Drive-
The flux drive is very much more complex that one might think for as the customers evolve so do
the standards and enlightenment of said customers. More over different societies around the globe not
only compete for the resources, but indeed seek to gain control of the flux process.
However, the beauty of the process is that it is indeed constantly in the state of flux and thus change
and opportunity are always a required option.
The trick it seems is to find that hook, though it may only last while the trend or fade is hot, the
business exchange depends largely on it.
The next element of the flux process is to create a means as a symbol or acceptable agreement as to
what or how the process will satisfy the needs or wants of most stakeholders. Perhaps for some it is
precious medals or minerals (gold, silver, oil……) or perhaps the confidence of such elements can be
incorporated in such items as moneys, notes or simply an agreed upon exchange for services or
resources.
The key point here is agreed upon, for this suggests the term confidence since the actual resources
or elements are not active in the flux process. One might also ponder at this juncture, what are the
driving forces of the business/flux process?
21
8/14/2019 The Rise and Fall of a Civilization

Perhaps for some it its simply addressing the needs of the stakeholders, or perhaps creating a need
for the stakeholder, maybe tracking the trends of current past and future business processes, perhaps its
just flux and what ever one can think of, one then can create, the business of flux, the execution of
thought process that at least in theory have the potential to produce an exchange of business energy,
motion, activity or simply flux.
Who then in the realm of business could or should control this movement of energy or activity?
One might feel as if it were only just for those that are in power positions or settings where decisions
can be made should remain there.
If it not broke, don’t fix it. Is it broke? Where do new ideas come from and how are they interjected
into the flux pool.
Perhaps a history lesson can be attained as per the rise and fall of civilizations, the causes, the
leadership, the competition, and the confidence of the civilization at the time of the downward trend.
Though one might think the business process is equal or should be equal, one might suggest this is
very much not the case.
Products & services -
There is a product or service, a cost for this product or service and the value assigned to the product
or service. The cost is usually what the market will pay or what it may pay in the future for depending
on the state of flux the value can and will rise or decline.
The creation and implementation of a product or service suggest that the process is un-equal by the
natural process of creating and implementing a service or product. The is indeed the energy of motion

and the expectancy of a return on investment as motivating factors as compared to what this product or
service is indeed worth to me.
Change can be equated to the term flux as a constant interaction of matter, energy or simply
thoughts, actions and the exchange of goods an services to the end of a return of investment and a
perceived value of given products or services at least appears to satisfy some percent of preconditions.
Perhaps there is some truth to the concept that the more things change, the more things stay the
same. The important point here is the perceived set of conditions and or circumstances and the
perceived out come to be.
Change thus must by its nature interact as a state of flux to exist, thus one can now interject
conditions on the change process that may or may not impact the way one chooses to do business.
• Is there a need for the change in business
• What conditions or circumstances impact or influence the flux process
• Who will implement the change process
• How will the change be executed
23
8/14/2019 The Rise and Fall of a Civilization
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-rise-and-fall-of-a-civilization 24/63
Rise /Fall Society
• Who or what is the target market /customers
• What is the expected outcome (return on investment)
• Will the change be temporary of have a long term impact
• Can the change process be managed ,measures and improved
• What are the measures of a successful change process
• Do you have the right people and resources in place
• Timing can be everything
• I s there support for the elements implementing the change and will the
customers be conditioned for the buy in
Next, one might pose the question, can one really be prepared for change, if so how? Some claim to
have the ability to read the business market, while others feel there are trends to follow, still others feel
customers really don’t really know what they want so it is thus up to them to create something out of
the flux and of course market it to those that haven’t a clue as to what they really need or want.
Still yet there are those that are simply creative and simply dare to take risks or believe in
themselves to the point of actually having the ability to pre-determine the market flux.
So how can one really prepare ,it may be that to prepare to market flux is not the issue, perhaps it is
simply to adapt and take what ever business to the next level while improving the process (cheaper,
better and faster). Who really knows, the researcher certainly doesn’t.

It is indeed now miscarry to promote on going training and education
just to compete, thus areas of human resources ,labor management and
others mat at times enjoy the spot light.
The business process is now incorporated the niche seeking element as
per the right resources and the right fit at the right time frame.
One must come to the realization that there are indeed those of business
and those that are simply in the process, one must as the researcher is
now learning patients, caring, sharing, understanding and at some point
seeking those at the set of circumstances as customers.
The flux of business thrives only as flux with out the skills, inputs, labor
and the like for those implementing the process. More over the issue of
confidence of the structure and delivery of goods and services is of
paramount concern.
Someone in the business group must not only have a business plan, but a
real-world business vision that can indeed be communicated effectively
not only through the business group but also to the customer base.
Today’s business leaders must display not only strong and firm leadership but the ability to
change with the entire business environment should it be necessary. Thus those in leadership
positions should be hand picked, stood the test of time and above at least on the surface project a
positive chemistry among those that may interact with in the business circle.

The are of communication should be of great interest to today’s management teams since
there is no one leadership style that fits all, the style for today’s must simply be to adapt to a
given set of circumstances at ant given set of events at any given time frames.
A plus for those that seek to be ahead is to pick up some language tapes or suggest the idea to
some of the team members, thus the enterprise can adapt to the evolving global scheme much
faster.
At some point one must ask the business partners or ones self, is this the right fit, do I enjoy
this, can I help some one or perhaps give back through the business effort or should I sell.
These elements are personal questions but should be reevaluated during the life of the
business cycle. one must pay close attention to governments rules ,regulations, and policies for
this too is apart of the business flux ,and it too may appear un clear or un certain at times as to
how the processes interact and simply what are the consequences for mistakes or errors.
One might feel with all the flux going on and other influencing factors, how can one gauge the true
value of a business venture, especially when start up costs can vary with no real guarantee of profit.
Well one might suggest hand picking out those ventures that have less start up thus having less over
head cost. Moreover the business owners can earn profits while engaged in other tasks. One might
suggest with caution, internet ventures that have stood the test of time or perhaps researched real-estate
ventures.
No matter what the path is, research is need in and of the area of interest and some percent of risk
will be involved ,if not everyone would indeed be rich. Perhaps a look at the investment of space
(NASA) an investment!

United States Business and Public Policy in the 20th Century: Louis Galambos and Joseph Pratt
The story begins with the transfer of history and business interaction with two of this societies
business innovators. We know them as J.P. Morgan and Lee Iacocca. The authors of the book reflect
the thoughts that these men are or were symbols of the American Business system.
“The book suggests that Morgan sparked some of the values of the responsible businessmen at the
upper crust in America at the turn of the century. Moreover it is suggested that Morgan was a dominant
influence in the investment banking industry”.
Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988
One may be note worthy at this point is that some feel that during this time-line ,some of the
business practices and policies may have been left un-checked. “This could imply elements un-checked
could be processes or interaction among the government, labor unions or perhaps foreign competitors.
Over time things, systems and processes change, or do they”? Some feel the more things change, the
more things stay the same. The question that one asks at this point is should history be used in a way or
means to analyze contemporary problems?
Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988 One might infer that the traditions and events throughout history
have some importance in the way we presently do business and perhaps some of the basic business
theories and or schemes are still at play even as the author communicates the transfer of works.

What ever the case, what are the lessons learned, how has the business process be improved, and
simply put, do the people of the society believe in the business process? “One could pose the question,
how does the past impact the present or future? Some feel the business processes of the past have or
will impact future students or leaders that may be at some point being accountable for the success of
failure of business organizations”. Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988
“The authors of the book state that while reconstructing the past, they drew upon the research of
others, including their colleagues, students, and other author”. For the most part most researchers apply
the some format, with perhaps changes as per the technology available at any given time.
The authors suggests in marking similarities between Morgan and Iacocca, that is somewhat
difficult to imagine two business more different in back ground and in style than a financier (Morgan)
and an automobile manufacturer (Iacocca).
The writing follows to suggest the Morgan reflects the American way of doing business in 1900 and
Iacocca for that of the 1980s.Galambos & Pratt copyright 1988 The writings move foreword to suggest
that time-line between the two, may measure the extent to which the business sector and the public
setting in the US has changed.
As stated, Morgan projected the values of the responsible business higher ups and he and his peers
may have exhibited influence over some of the most productive sectors of the American economy
during the time –line indicated.
On the flip side, the writers suggest, Iacocca and his time line of business interactivity, could
scarcely be more different. History reflects Iacocca as a self- promoter who relishes the spot-light, the
successful white Knight of the Chrysler face-lift. Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988 .The researcher
31
8/14/2019 The Rise and Fall of a Civilization
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-rise-and-fall-of-a-civilization 32/63
Rise /Fall Society
also found worthy to note that the writers suggest that “ in Morgan’s day a small elite in the business
community ,had far more power than any business person, Iacocca included, can exercise today”.
Moreover, as a contrast the authors suggest that business leaders of the 1980s do not command; they
negotiate. The authors suggest it is this evolution that is the focus of their collection of research.
The research gathered in the authors writings strongly indicates the rise of the expanded corporation
during J.P. Morgan’s era suggests a noticeable shift with in America’s Business Exchanges. The
following are areas of the research that was brought out:
Manufacturing
Transportation
Communication
Distribution Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988
The writers move on to suggest large corporate combines were organized to tie together their
business markets and to take advantage of technological innovations.
Also as these processes evolved, the business men of the day searched new ways to achieve
efficient production, to encourage innovation, and to maintain control of their economic and
political environments.
The researcher feels at this juncture that the interaction of the current business process can
be said to be bases at least in part as per some of the earlier elements of Morgan’s era.
However what is important to focus on is how well these elements and or practices
performed at the earlier time-line, what elements have we still in motion as per today’s
32
8/14/2019 The Rise and Fall of a Civilization
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-rise-and-fall-of-a-civilization 33/63
Rise /Fall Society
business processes, and perhaps, what are the lessons learned? Galambos & Pratt, copyright
1988.
The researcher also feels it worthy to note as per a business of direct power and influence,
compared to seeking a buy in of the stakeholders through negotiations, and or concessions and
stakeholder confidence, decision making process, change of education methods, and the
impact of global competition, with the US not holding the number one spot as trade as per a
global business scheme.
Perhaps the business model has indeed shifted or one might suggest the quality, style,
commitment or skills of today’s business leaders are simply not what they were at one time.
Whatever the case, however the cycles fall or rebound, the leaders, the business processes,
the customers, and all the interactivity must adapt to stay in positive motion and compete on a
global level.
The evolution of the business model as per the author’s research implies new corporate
structures were created over time and management learned over this period how to deal with in
some cases, larger and more complex business systems. Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988.
Some of these changes could imply differences between Morgan and Iacocca.
Also noted by the authors of the book study was that the government’s role shifted clearly
in three categories during the century: the first was single –industry regulation, cross –industry
and government directed activities that indirectly shape the nation’s business environment.”
These elements were considered for they were indicators that the government as such did not
33
8/14/2019 The Rise and Fall of a Civilization
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-rise-and-fall-of-a-civilization 34/63
Rise /Fall Society
grow; what developed were specific governmental functions performed by specific
institutions”. Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988.
As a contrast to today’s business climate, some feel there is too much government and also
too much government spending. Also today’s society appears divided as per the government
bail outs of business failures and in some cases the action taken or action not taken in the
scandals pertaining to the business interactivity and the consequences there of.
The climate of the current government business process employs a great number of
personal ,has sub contractors, and as an added factor ,some of the government members
moon-light ,create business that may be in question as to conflict of interest as per the
functions of the government activity.
More over as additional rules, regulations, policies and or procedures change or are added,
the question of fairness, and delivery across the board are at times heated issues.
There may be grey areas of favoritism, special trade partners with special interest rates,
even insider information and knowledge that may or may not be regulated or tracked across
the board fairly.
The bottom line in the areas of regulation and implementation of polices, is simply what the
stakeholders and those that have a say in the American Business process will indeed tolerate.
One might feel at some point that the business process (the flux process) can be or at
certain times over whelming, this thought may indeed have some merit. However the elements
listed above are not the complete story –lines, there is the factor of global investments, which
34
8/14/2019 The Rise and Fall of a Civilization
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-rise-and-fall-of-a-civilization 35/63
Rise /Fall Society
leads into at least in part domestic and global problems or issues that project a need to be
resolved.
In order to conduct business, there must not only be resources, leadership and a market, but
also effective communication through out the business process. This of course may be easier
said than done. For the present market, the products and or services reflect market balance,
targeted customers and customer /market conditioning.
Thus customers and markets can be created through careful and targeted conditioning of the
services. From this point of view, the business person can be viewed as the catalyst to spark
new and innovative concepts, generate profits /return on investments, and thus sustaining the
capitalistic society.
This is somewhat more complex that it sounds for, again rules, regulations, and conditions are
applied through the government and the stakeholders. Thus there must be a trade off of not
only goods and services, but the power, influence and the conditions in which these elements
must interact.
Business can be ,more than a process when the conditions as per it exists in real-world
terms meets, exceeds or adapts to real-world market demand.
“ As per Morgan, the authors reflect his major contribution to the business process was to
bring under control relationships among competing firms.
Each combine during this era went through an extended process of administrative
consolidation as authority and lines of communication were at some point centralized “.
Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988.

It is suggested that during this time line, the concept was developed and implemented that
the business organizations executed a particular pace in a particular way, thus functional
departments, a central point of contact, and briefing the company president were accepted
order of practices.
Another important element incorporated was the committee system. The feel at the time
was that the business system needed coordination, the was complied with by the markets and
the global standard. Galambos &Pratt, copyright 1988.
At this juncture the projects moves foreword to the subject matter of the gold standard. The
researcher is not totally clear as to the monetary system in place at present, or the current value
of the coins and denominations of print. However the findings suggest the gold standard
ensured of a certain time frame would indeed be of similar value in the future.
On might ponder at some point the tie in as per the true gold standard and the rate of
inflation that is profoundly reflected in today’s market. Moreover, the issues of confidence of
the monetary process, and the over all worth of said process is at best in question.
Also during Morgan’s era, the creditability /confidence of the gold standard was thought to
be protected by the US government. Thus a true and meaning role, thus projecting a need for
the government and not the current “process of adding more red tape to an already over-burden
process.
The researcher was struck as the authors communicated that Morgan was instilled with the
confidence that he and his peers could control economic affairs far better than any regulatory
commission.

Thus far it would appear that American business men maintained and the US government
maintained a role. However, the take the researcher receives to the end is that the country
existed, maintaining through the efforts of the business and or corporations.
The government appeared to be an entity for confidence building, a process to loop the
business sector and its customers and at times to interject limited regulations. How has these
roles, changed, have the roles changed for the betterment of the business market, and where
does the driving force for the market and society lie.
One may take a critical look at the existing conditions and indeed suggest several
combinations of answers or solutions, however one fact is very clear, things have changed .We
may very well have similarities to the same government process, however the business
leadership has changed. We now have scandals and huge corporations the simply fold------ (go
figure).
It would appear a slight shift in any market, if such market does not or can not adapt to the
changing conditions of the state of technology and the demand of such technology.
It becomes clear that it is not the demand for such technology, but the available resources
that are limited or targeted as to maintain the balance of supply and demand .Of course for any
of these elements to bear fruit, the element of confidence must be addressed.
However, what appears to be a major problem for the current global markets is that the
issues of confidence are addressed only when there is a crisis. That in itself what not over tax
the business process, however when the confidence issues are indeed addressed, these issues
are only at best addressed on a short term bases. Thus the market tends reflect unstable

/uncertain cycles of market growth with uncontrolled spikes of lost wealth for some, and the
gain of un-told wealth for others.
Depending upon one’s point a depressed market can indicate a needed market correction,
or an all out melt down.
For those that have indeed invested the time and resources to study the true business model,
it doesn’t really matter, what does matter is that the process is quickly back on track,
confidence is restored, and the “ long term corrections have been implemented” .
As the project now reflects back to the Morgan era,” Morgan saw himself as the best friend
to the government, perhaps even the best friend the government had during his era.
This is some what accented as per during the depression of the 1890s, he displayed his
loyalty by coming to the rescue of the government in a monetary crisis “. Galambos & Pratt,
copyright 1988. Do we have a monetary at present? One might also ponder as to whether we
have a Morgan to bail the government out. Does the government have a friend?
This example could indeed reflect that the elite of this era of the financial system lent a
helping hand to the president of the U.S. dealing on a personal basis.
The research also suggests the nation benefited, financial interests in the U.S .and also
Europe at this time line, for it had an interest in keeping the U.S. on the gold standard.
However, the trade off was personal control.
The authors move on to suggest that the balance between private and public power was
struck much to the advantage of the private sector. Galambos & Pratt, copyright 1988.

The time line now evolves to the nineteenth- Century Firm (Morgan System, 1840 -1900)
the efforts of the day were centered on obtaining capital and credit for the firm .History
reflects that during the 1840s and 1850s, the U.S. was indeed a capital poor society.
The urban sector did not deal in the areas of stocks; those securities were thought to be too
risky. Banks seldom lent money on a long term basis; the business person had to be known
personally by the banks officers.
The norm for some one creating a business was to seek aid from the family. Galambos &
Pratt, copy 1988.
Today’s market tends to reflect heavily on credit, and in some cases, depending on market
conditions and the ease of government regulations, it’s simply turn a profit and deal with the
consequences at a later time line.
(The housing bubble). However ,there should always be a balance, the need for a stimulus
or to jump start the market or indeed to simply take advantage of cash and investing to the
degree of self advancement only and other elements of the market picks up the tab later.
More over ,it appears the market of today is more closely tied to the global market
schemes, thus the cast of players are harder to track, the investments in the market demands
much more research time, retirement plans are in question at times, and education can not be
substituted.
In today’s market there are differences that change the basic market structure; however it is
indeed unclear as to the adaptation process of the investors, the stakeholders and the
government.

The internet domain appears to have only been lightly taped and the cast of players are
indeed global. The ground rules in many cases are un-clear at best ‘or perhaps with out rules at
all.
The businessman or the CEO now attends a tele-conference instead of the closed door
meeting and some one acting at the head of the table. Moreover, for those seeking knowledge,
information technology has no bounds or limits. So what does all this mean?
Simply put, the game has not changed, it is still about a return on investment, however how
we play the game has changed and the methods or rules have indeed shifted.
Home based work stations, and the concept of having your money or investment work for
you while you are living life. Turn key business schemes, and up side down pyramid schemes
can not only be ran as computer based, but created as per computer base. In today’s business
scheme, knowledge is truly power, and creativity and cash is king.
+-The flip side, everything can be stolen, your thoughts, your projects, everything, it just
depends on who gets it to the market first.
The true writers of the higher levels of society must resort to the old fashion method of pin
and paper, and choosing selectively a group the indeed represents their true interest. Data
researched from (Galambos & Pratt, 1988)
This not only reflects confidence or trust, but a breakdown in the system process, thus
more divisions. The impact on the business sector can be a shift of knowledge base to other
countries, a decline in confidence correlates to a society that has split business ventures, the
main stream of investors, those that create, those that get paid for what they know, those that

transfer information to the highest bidder and those that progressively seek real world
investment opportunity.
These elements contribute to the rise and fall of the society for the business creativity,
business transactions, and business return on investment all depend heavily on this, equal
opportunity.
The concept is simple, yet it can be a major driver for the best and the brightest indeed seek
self actualization, to get paid for what they know, what they do and above all what they create.
With all the information available and a global market, the society is responsible for the
progression of its people, business is interaction, but not only that, it must interact with-in the
regulations of the society, but most importantly it must interact freely. Thus the confidence,
creativity and progression of the society can press foreword in a positive and competitive
fashion.
The Morgan era was at some point power, however the power are earned and at least
executed for the benefit of the society as well as the individual. The contrast of today reflects
power, however the failure of the super investment firms and the like also reflects creed, thus
confidence is shaken. Data researched from (Galambos & Pratt, 1988)

The System in Flux (1901-1939) Morgan
When one is born in the month of January, it would be a given that the birth is
delivered with a chill. However being delivered in the state of West Virginia one can
expect to be cold.
One can suggest at this point that one is a product of the environment of which one is
born. How this product or product is developed is another story. Perhaps all men are
created equally or un-equally, should it really matter or does it really matter?
The point is that the environmental factors impact each individual differently and thus
each life must adapt, react, conform or simply give up.
What is worthy to note is that after one is born, luck, God, faith, natural selection and
other elements are at play?
The catch is that the deck is more often than not stacked and for the most part a
system or process is in place that maintains the haves and haves not.
There is no mechanism of checks and balances and thus the over all quality of life or
being varies to the degree that a given group or society tolerates the gap among the rich
and the poor.

Birth being the first stage of the human process, is thus followed by the un conscious
efforts of emulating or copying others as a natural process of survival. A small child
grows mentally and physically with out much effort for indeed at this stage it is simply
natural.
However as one moves to young adult hood a different process is taken form that is a
natural process, but also a process of intended actions and reactions, thus setting the stage
for the ability of learning. Some elements / concepts researched through (Galambos &
Pratt, 1988)
At this time line one can assume the start of a conditioning process, however what
one is conditioned to or from, begins to set the stage as per the type of life one will live,
the quality of life one will live and, the input one will have on a given society and more
over the impact of one’s off spring.
Some elements of concern here are the basic building blocks of the human and how
they inter-face. For indeed the human can only be what he has gathered and processed
from the environment.
A problem or a concern area at this point is first, the basic, food, clothing and shelter
as per the access to these elements. As the process breaks down father one can look at
how a single human or groups of humans are nourished.
This may include the education of knowing how to eat healthy, have the monies to
access the food and being able to be constant as per the eating and buying habits.
Let us suppose that group A has constant access to a healthy food supply and thus the

How do we spoon feed the transfer of power to citizens that have become
accustomed to being at the top of the food chain?
What do we fill the void with as per job creation, innovation, lack of educational
leadership and simply riding the wave of setting the pace of the pulse of the

Can the business in this country compete when the deck is not stacked but the
population lags as per the edge of unity, and lack of confidence?
What can a declining society offer for trade or resource interchange? (borrowing
and raising the national debt can no longer sustain an economy that lacks
opportunity for innovation/creativity and the advancement of implementing return
on investment?
Where will we find the business leadership, the incentives and the balance of
supply and demand?
How will a declining society handle the increased influx of foreign competition
entering the society with cheaper, better and faster business concepts along with a
better quality of education and training?
How will business, the banking system, the government and workers blend to
compete in an environment that has already transformed into the next phase?
Simply put, who will train the next generation of business leaders or will they
simply be replaced? Perhaps the replacements are already here.
Who will address the issues of equality and opportunity for all and moreover who

We can’t create but so many job opportunities for there must be at some point not a
creation of jobs but a demand stream for new and improved products and services. Thus
the reality appears at this point to be having a well trained, well educated and highly
skilled work force with cutting edge management in place to direct resources.
We simply are not there. There is a plan however that will not be listed in this volume.
It would also appear that one can not conduct competitive business ventures with
confidence of the players that interact in the process that too will be addresses in a
different volume for selected readers.
The art of business is not only supply and demand it is most important to have a
means of gaining the return customer and changing /adapting not only to the customer
base but also the global environment.
After all business is indeed a global market and the trick is not only to reach that
global market but to attract a niche and impart control your part of the resource exchange.
A look at the facts –
Can a society survive at this time line with out a competitive business strategy – no it
can’t----
This society for the most part implements only one language and thus limited as per real
world business communication. The system process is not one of true value services
rather that of greed and self centered perks.
The business sector has now taken a dip and the banking process appears to be the last

We need business equal opportunities, real world business leaders, and a long term
strategic vision of positive global interaction that when sustained over a period of time
will allow growth and profit yielding investments to thrive.
Can we do it? Yes we can, we must change and adapt if we are to compete and regain
control of the business scheme.
Our competition –
It is a given that the competition is now global however inside the global net is also
credibility and the ability to sustain the global business relation. This concept entails
some responsibilities such as
• Delivery options as just in time, supply on demand
• Guarantees on the products or services
• A balance of trade as per the GDP export ratio
• Fair exchange regulations such as tariffs /taxes
• Fair hiring and firing practices
• Acknowledging labor laws and unions
• Competitive wages and benefits
• Above all government support and not government intervention
Along with the global arena as a source of present and future competition one must now
adjust to the competition of technology. The areas of robotics/android interface
technology will soon be a competitive force as per a business tool and a business.
The shift is to the future of not just getting the job done but getting the job done better,
cost effective and faster. Perhaps humans and technology can interface at some point to

and spirit of the people, not the government.
Falling –
It is not all the fact that we have an increasing un-skilled /educated labor force; this is
combined with the loss of the American dream. The loss of the spark the units a society,
the values, goals and vision to not only lead in the business scheme but to extend the
opportunity to the next generation of society.
Wealth, greed and activities that instill distrust of leadership can not be restored
unless the people of society demand it to be restored. If indeed the people fell that the
business and banking sectors do not have their best interest at hand the confidence needed
to restore the business sector will never bear fruit.
Thus either foreign business leaders will enter the falling society and take control of
productive resources or the business assets that are with in the falling society will be
executed within the borders of other countries.
The creation of jobs can not alone restore the business edge the society once held; it is
the will of the people that make a county, a president or a global business a great success.

Thus a mechanism to inspire, to unit and to project a fair deal to all must be implemented
at some point to regain the business edge.
How can this be implemented, this subject matter will be discussed at a latter date
however what is of interest at present is the elements themselves being visible.
The next generation –
The next generation of labor-intensive segments will need to be informed, project at
least the first level of higher education, posses developed communication skills and it
least one foreign language.
This assessment is suggested because of the increasing on the future of robotics,
foreign investors, foreign make up of the society, more limited resources for more limited
peoples and cultures and simply more international competition competing with in the
society.
Thus the time is not now to get ready, it has passed for indeed the time line has passed
and the given populace has not a glue of the change that has taken place. Moreover the
resources in country are no longer labor intensive driven due to technological advances
and a shift to global linked life sustaining transactions that at present affect each society.
The elements of impact suggest the following indicators:
Only infrastructure job creation, limited food services, healthcare services,
computer based interface , and highly skilled management talents will endure the
shift while those of lower level labor skills will be left to government programs
for existence.
The new wave of workers and leaders from other countries will increase as per
the next decade at a rapid rate as per the gap of rich and poor, educated and un

educated widens and the creativity , innovation and finance power will be needed
to sustain the society that is too far in debt to operate and sustain its society.
Business opportunities will increase for those that prepared for the new shift and
have the forethought of implementing the limited resources by a means that can
improve the process.
The new waste in the society will not be based on color of other non irrelevant
factors for it will simply be an equation of those implementing the most effective
business schemes, those able to interact cross culturally, those that have evolved
beyond petty racial issues and those that are simply innovative that will move
ahead.
It is now a global business process and the US is not on top but shifting toward
the top middle and the global position does not look promising for the future.
Owning and controlling resources is now global and just about any society that is
progressing or sustaining progress has an element of foreign investment AND or
foreign debt. It is the society that indeed best manages these elements that will
sustain the new business shift.
The new world order is no longer a military order it is a business / technology
order thus there are many societies in the game and the wasted time and
resources on targeted colure issues , limiting those targeted and simply lifting
their ideas and business plans will no longer suffice . Simply put, the competition
is too stiff and the players are global.
During the early stages of the development of the business model the business
corporations and the government had a perceived set of special relationships. The movers

and shakers of the business arena could impact policies and the way the society was to
thrive.
Thus business and national leadership were a combined force to be reckoned with
around the globe. Instead of simply printing more worthless paper an agreement among
the business community could be implemented and the saving of face and a more than
large global debt was avoided.
It would appear that over time a shift from sustaining the society and progressing
forward to greed and how we can stop the lower levels from advancing replaced the
importance of a moral and competitive society.
At present the business sector may be indebted to the government and perhaps that is
not entirely bad, however it is the business sector that creates America not the restrictions
and enforced limitations on color. Thus a reverse on national growth and debt has all but
over taken the society.
At this juncture there is no innovative process that can compete on a global scale in a
global market and thus global debt. Is there a fix they may be suggested by the notes and
information thus far?
Perhaps bringing back the spirit of old fashion healthily American competition would
help but at present that has be blocked by racial issues , hate crimes, greed and a status
policy that has a confidence level of the lowest since the society was formed.
Will the country rebound? At present there are those that make the claim that America
can regain her status as world leader and become united once again. This may indeed be
possible should the world stop spinning.

The facts are power, greed, money, race and the melting pot of the society are
elements that are out of balance and there is no kingdom in place that can merit enough
confidence for a fix. More over its now an interconnected global business scheme that
houses real –world brain power and some countries have control of the racial issues that
in time will aid in the down fall of this society.
The debt that the nation owes and the decline of skills talent, creativity that have been
all but completely shut down has indeed positioned the society at the level of some
developing third world countries. The only difference is mainly those of the ability to
make war, not competitive products and services.
Thus the business model shifts as other societies implement those same opportunities
and thus lessening the importance of the US as a leader.
There are indeed processes and schemes that can and should be implemented however
it appears at least on the surface no one cares enough or has confidence enough in the old
system to act.
Pray? Or is it still talk –two and a special order?
