    Until the very latest moment of his existence, man
    has been bound to the planet on which be originated and
    developed. Now he had the capability to leave that planet 1. has
    and move out into the universe to those worlds which he

    up the economic system of town, a city, a country,
    or the world. Such economic system is the sum-total 5. 之前加an

     The science of economist is basis upon the facts 9. based
