WOMAN: It adds up to a surplus. The creation of a surplus means that the time saved by the wheel on a
car or the lever on an engine can be used to make more goods.
MAN: You can either use these goods or you can exchange them, or you could use them to provide
services: nurses or teachers, or postmen or firemen – or you could use them to provide leisure for
yourself.
WOMAN: So when we take advantage of a combination of mechanical devices, natural resources and
our own efforts, we create a surplus. And that surplus provides us with the standard of living we have
today in our modern world.
