Abstract

IN THE last three years the wire industry has done considerable production testing with molybdenum disulphide as an additive to their wire drawing and forming lubricants, with the result that by the beginning of 1962 an estimated 70% of the U.S. mills were using molybdenum disulphide (moly) in production. The advantages reported by these mills are increased die life, brighter surface finishes, and improved products principally for the heading and wire rope industries. Other reported improvements by these mills have been higher drawing speeds or reduced force necessary to perform the drawing, less wire breakage, reduced wear on machinery, and a slower hardening rate.

Abstract

Although the host, the future body of Christ in the Catholic Eucharist, seems to lie completely outside of the economic system, it needs to be produced and sold. The majority of host producers are female monasteries for which the production process brings double tension: as an economic activity within a religious utopia (the monastery) and as the economization of something that is considered to be a religious good. This double tension provokes the question, how do the nuns legitimate this economic process in their monastery without desacralizing the symbolic good? Trying to answer this question, nuns typically deny the economic dimension of production and transaction, yet the sheer existence of this economy proves it is accepted. This chapter examines the relationship between economy and religion through an analysis of the ambivalence in the production and marketing process of altar bread.
