A Brief General History of the UK Paint Industry: Part 9. Toward the Present

Abstract

The divinity involved in the outcome of any materialistic pursuit, must essentially consist of the human beings who have been progressively involved in it. The products, of course, are of critical importance but, again in the last analysis, their form and quality are wholly dependent on people. While all human beings and races are of honourable estate, some are indisputably better equipped to create wealth, just as others are better equipped to create great works of art‐painting, writing and the making of music. So far as proof of the former ability is concerned, we need look no further than Germany or Japan. Crippled after World War 2 they were, in hardly any time at all, out in front of those nations untouched by the conflict, to say nothing of the successful commercial fight they wage against the victors. Why should this be?
