Well the whole idea of
the export processing zone

:24:14
is that it will be the
first step towards

:24:17
this wonderful
new development

:24:19
through the investment thatÂ’s
attracted to these countries

:24:22
there will be
a trickle down effect

:24:24
into the communities.
:24:25
But because so many countries
are now in the game

:24:28
of creating these
free trade enclaves

:24:31
they have to keep providing
more and more incentives

:24:34
for companies to come to their
little denationalized pocket.

:24:39
And the tax holidays
get longer.

:24:42
So the workers rarely
make enough money

:24:44
to buy
three meals a days

:24:46
let alone feed
their local economy.

:25:17
Something happened in 1940
:25:20
which marked the beginning
of a new era.

:25:24
The era of the ability
to synthesize and create.

:25:29
On an unlimited scale
:25:32
new chemicals that had
never existed before

:25:35
in the world.
:25:37
And using the
magic of research

:25:39
oil companies compete
with each other

:25:41
in taking the petroleum
molecule apart

:25:44
and rearranging it into
well you name it...

:25:48
So suddenly it became possible
:25:50
to produce any new chemical
:25:52
synthetic chemicals
:25:54
the likes of which had never
existed before in the world

:25:56
for any purpose and
at virtually no cost.
