One of the basic characteristics of capitalism is the private ownership of the major means of production—capital. The ownership of large amounts of capital can bring【1】profits, as well as economic and political power. Some recent theorists,【2】, have argued that our society has moved to a new stage of【3】that they call "postindustrial" society. One important change in such society is that the ownership of【4】amounts of capital is no longer the only or even the most important【5】of profits and influence; knowledge as well as【6】capital brings profits and influence.
There are many【7】with the thesis above, not the least of【8】is that wealthy capitalists can buy the experts and knowledge they need to keep their profits and influence. But this does not【9】the importance of knowledge in an advanced industrial society, as the【10】of some new industries indicates.【11】, genetic engineering and the new computer technology have【12】many new firms and made some scientists quite rich. In【13】with criticism of the postindustrial society thesis, however, it must also be【14】that those already in control of huge amounts of capital(i. e. , major corporations)soon【15】to take most profits in these industries based on new knowledge.
Moving down from the level of wealth and power, we still find knowledge increasingly【16】. Many new high-tech jobs are being created at the upper-skill, low-paying service【17】. Something like a caste line is emerging centered around knowledge. Individuals who fall too far behind in the【18】of knowledge at a young age will find it almost impossible to catch up later, no matter how hard they try. Illiteracy in English language has been a severe【19】for many years in the United States, but we are also moving to the point when computer illiteracy will hinder many more people and【20】them to a life of low-skill and low-paid labor.
