PART 6 The Economics of Labor Markets Chapter 18 of 36 The Markets for the Factors of Production Section 20 of 20 … In this chapter we have seen how labor, land, and capital are paid for their roles in the production process. The theory developed here is called the neoclassical theory of distribution. According to this theory the amount paid to each factor of production depends on the supply and demand for that factor.

Scot and Fumiko pictures and information
Fumiko Scot's information: Weight at 163 pounds, got to 160 pounds five years ago and have recently been bouncing between 163 and 170. Common sense ways to lose and keep off weight are eat right and light and get lots of exercise. Main exercise is walking, do 1~2 miles most days. Over career worked as a salesman in the steelmaking, fasteners, and auto manufacturing industries, lots of travel in U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Japan. Have visited every U.S. city with a major league, MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, sports team except Sacramento, have gotten as close as Travis Air Force Base. Often traveled on Sundays, much time on the road so could not eat right and get enough exercise so got heavy, up to 200 lbs. Was on commission and made enough to retire early, now eat right and light, get enough exercise. Now am spending most time reading and writing.
