All of the parts of a productive system that contribute to marketable products; the productive elements in a particular economy. This includes the entire network of firms, regulatory bodies (like government), infrastructure (roads, telecommunications), and financial intermediaries (banks, thrifts).
In a global economy, there are many industrial systems. In fact, it's quite possible that a single town could have companies belonging to different industrial systems; e.g., a paper mill near a biotech research facility. Almost none of the productive systems share potential employees or potential markets; a recession for the biotech business could--and probably would--completely spare the paper mill. Moreover, the managers of the two businesses probably want opposite policies: the mill owners want low taxes and small government, while the biotech researchers want big spending on education and infrastructure.
Much confusion is caused by calling the industrial system the "economy." The industrial system is not the economy. The industrial system is an organic entity within a greater economy. Various policies may be beneficial for this or that industrial system, with an ambiguous effect (if any) on the economy.
The family model was incorporated into the industrial system with the agent (who was the chief manager) filling the father's role. The same model was also expressed in the hierarchical management structure... The overseer was the "father" of his workroom and was expected to treat the workers like his children.
(Tamara K. Hareven, *Family Time and Industrial Time* 1982, p.4)

the scene is already too saturated with clothing companies with bad designs and horrible bands. clandestine is an attack on these stale ideas of nautical stars and pogo parts. clandestine is not a clothing company. it is not a band. it is a story based on a nightmare. the book will be released on Halloween 2004. it is called "clandestine industries presents: the boy with the thorn in his side".
The Book:
This is a story based on the real nightmares of Peter Wentz, lyricist and bass player from the band Fall Out Boy. The memories of these nightmares have stayed with him since he was young. Putting them on paper was a form of closure, as well as a way to relive them (again and again). With the visual inspiration of world famous tattoo artist Tim Biedron, these images came to life. Illustrated by Joe Tesauro with intense colors by Rob Dobi, the pictures tell the story that kept the young Peter Wentz awake at night. It is dark and it is twisted. It is for every heart that is too heavy for the legs that carry it.
