A form of economic organization in which the population's needs for food, manufactured products, transportation, and many services are met through the use of machines currently powered largely by fossil fuel. Industrialism is the result of the mass adoption of the following process - a company puts land, oil or other natural resources, with labor (including entrepreneurship) and capital in one side, and then one gets goods and services out the other side. Every industry requires an infrastructure to grow.
