Opening Source Excerpt
Section titled “Opening Source Excerpt”XVI THE FUTURE CORPORATION THE development of a national government by the industrial corporation presupposes that the social functions of the industrial cor- poration, which are now being developed, have been extended in all corporations and grown to an activity equal in importance and scope, and directed by equally big men, as the technical, administrative, and financial activities of the corporation. It would hardly be safe, even with the control exerted by an inhibitory tribunicial power, to intrust the entire constructive gov- ernment of our nation to the industrial cor- porations of to-day, with their very different stages of social development. For the small individual producer of bygone days there was no social responsibility or duty, but his business was his private property^ to carry on in any manner he liked, subordinate only to theSource-Located Theme Snippets

Modern Engineering Reading Prompts
Section titled “Modern Engineering Reading Prompts”- Ether references: Verify exact wording before drawing conclusions. Ether language must be separated from later interpretive systems.
- Field language: Read for whether field language is mechanical, geometrical, causal, descriptive, or simply a convenient engineering model.
Ether-Field Interpretive Boundary
Section titled “Ether-Field Interpretive Boundary”- Ether references: If Steinmetz mentions ether, quote only the verified source words first; any broader ether-field synthesis belongs in a labeled interpretive layer.
- Field language: Field-pressure or field-gradient interpretations can be explored here only after the explicit source passage and modern engineering translation are kept distinct.
