Plato’s City One man is a farmer, another a builder, one a weaver. There are diversities of natures among us adapted to different occupations. All things are produced more plentifully and easily and of a better quality when one man does one thing which is natural to him and leaves other things. Plato,  The Republic , 360 BC

  1. Let’s walk through a simple example to illustrate an important concept about why and how we should collaborate. To survive, I need Food, Shelter, and Clothing. I spend 1/3 of a day acquiring each, so they are of equal value to me.

  3. Now assume that there are three of us in our city. And each of us has the same needs and spends the same time in acquiring them. How can we reorganize ourselves so we are all more prosperous? I’ll focus on making Food. I develop specialized skill and specialized tools, and I don’t need to change jobs. I become so productive I can make a unit of Food in ¼ day, so at the end of the day I end up with 4 units instead of 3. You focus on making Shelter, and someone else focuses on Clothing, each ending up with 4 units too. So now we trade. Notice how each of us ends up meeting our needs, and we have units left over. That is how wealth is created.

  10. This is actually a 2400 year ago example that Plato used in The Republic . One man is a husbandman, another a builder, one a weaver. There are diversities of natures among us adapted to different occupations. All things are produced more plentifully and easily and of a better quality when one man does one thing which is natural to him and leaves other things. Harvard Professor Michael Porter promotes the idea of industrial clustering, which has become all the rage in economic development circles in SC. The concept of diverse people creating wealth by specializing to become more productive is an ancient idea.

  12. (Here’s what we’re announcing) We plan to invest approximately $70 million over the next five year -- and possibly more -- to support and encourage the growth of the advanced materials industry cluster. This project has three primary components: 1 -- a State-of-the-art Advanced Materials Research Laboratory which will house two Research Centers of Economic Excellence 2 -- A Center of Excellence in Photonic Materials to focus on the development of the nascent photonics industry, which is primarily located in Upstate S.C. and Western N.C. 3 -- a Center of Excellence in Electronic Imaging, which will serve as a magnet for industries engaged in advanced materials research. In addition, we expect the faculty associated with these centers to generate an additional $5 to 6 million a year in sponsored research, which will be reinvested into equipment, graduate student support, and projects targeted at specific needs of industry.
