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.

A problem that makes a flawless plan or machine go wrong, as though one were throwing a wrench inbetween a perfectly set pair of gears.
We had the perfect plan for today, but when the homeless man slashed my van's tires, he threw a wrench in the system.

Used to describe different levels or degrees of sexual experience. It is substituted for the base system, due to discrepancies amongst different people's definition of each base.
1 Star - Making out.
2 Stars - Boob touching, over or under the shirt.
3 Stars - Hand jobs, fingering, getting turkied, jerking.
4 Stars - Oral sex, carpet munching, head.
5 Stars - Vaginal or anal intercourse.
The stars make communicating how your weekend went easier amongst friends.
Dude #1 - "How was your weekend bro?"
Dude #2 - "It was awesome bro. I had a 5-Star weekend!"
"She's such a slut. I hear she went to four stars on four different guys in one night!"
Sexually Frustrated Person - "I've only ever had one star..."
"This star system is so much less confusing than the base system. WTF does it mean when someone says short-stop anyway?"

System to determine if girl is fuckable. Eliminates 1 to 10 scale.
1 = She is naked spread eagle on your bed,and no one else finds out, you would fuck her.
0 = You wouldn't fuck her.
The binomial system is useless at 3 AM, because everyone is a one at this point,

Very intellectual and talented, System of a Down is one of the most unique sounds to hit Nu-Metal. Unlike Korn or Slipknot, System has the ability to write AND play their own music, with complete and utter talent.
All four members are of Armenian heritage and speak loudly of the unspoken Armenian Genocide of the late 1800's and early 1900's. They are heavily influenced by their roots and many other styles of music, and always open to new ideas.
Members of System:
Serj Tankian- lead vocals
Daron Malakian- guitar, backing vocals
Shavo Odadjian- bass
John Dolmayan- drums
System of a Down is an amazing band!

A freaking awesome band. Their lyrics dont make sense half of the time unless u think about them. Their political views are great as everyone has stated, but nobody gave an example. The lyrics to "Prison Song" are incredibly true.
"All research and sucsessful drug policys show that treatment should be increased!
DIE!
And law enforcement decreased while abolishing, mandatory, minimum sentences!
DIE!
(later)
Utilizing drugs to pay for secret wars around the world, drugs are now ur global policy now u plice the globe!
(later)
Drug money is used to rig elections and train brutal corporate sponsor dictators around the world!"
Let's get right to the point. Even though every single one of them are going to hell, their music is the BEST. Heavy metal band that is enjoyed by EVERYONE. The screaming and heavy instrument playing is simple amazing.
DUDE, SYSTEM OF A DOWN ROX MA SOX!!!
