The Industrial Age itself was based on a new relationship with time. Instead of paying people for the things they produced, we began to pay people for their time. The Industrial Age also brought a new kind of time-based money. In order to transact, merchants and companies needed to borrow coin, and then pay it back with interest. In a sense, it is money with a built-in clock. The business values of the Industrial Age became efficiency and growth, at the cost of most everything else. As the expression goes, time is money.

工业时代本身就立足于人们与时间的一种新关系上。我们开始为人们花费的时间而付钱，而不是像原来那样为人们生产的产品而付钱。工业时代还带来了一种新型的基于时间的货币。为了进行交易，商家和公司就需要借钱，然后连本带利偿付。从某种意义上来说，就像钱里面有内置时钟。工业时代的商业价值变成了{追求效率和增长}，而以牺牲几乎其他一切为代价。正如老话所言，时间就是钱。
