Money has a time value, net present value is future cashflows brought back to today's value against a discount factor (11% is standard), minus the initial investment. If the net present value of cumulative cashflows is positive, then the project should be accepted, unless a more profitable investment is also availiable.
To calculate the NPV of an investment, one must know the discount factor, cost of investment and expected incomes (based off accurate data)

What I've apparantley failed to mention, senor jb has failed to correct.
His incorrect and quite preposterous assertion that 'by the turn of the nineteenth century it was already producing more industrial goods than the rest of the world' is very much a joke. How 4.6% of the worlds population, living in 6.1% fo the total land area of the world can outproduce the rest of it is beyond logical thinking. While the united states may have been the country producing the most industrial goods, it was unlikely that per person it was the most or was, as this joker claims, making more than the rest of the world combined. The next coherable sentence (jb sure is smoking something, which is affecting his 'facts' and understandable english. Give me some of what you're smoking!) is about a status quo being interrupted? I'll assume this is a piss poor pseudo-intellectual statement, and that you actually meant I'm angry at america for whatever reason. Elaborate.
And didn't the commies in yugoslavia fund themselves with he marshall plan money?

early-mid 90's kids' television show that had a kick-ass first season.
After that, people began to realise that the plot for every single show was the same. Season two was season one, but they changed the costumes and made the names longer.

How power rangers replaced re-runs of masters of the Universe, thundercats and not-so-old teenage mutant ninja turtles we'll never know.
