Chapter 13, "Of the Natural Condition of Mankind as concerning their Felicity and Misery"
...there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain:
and consequently no culture of the earth;
no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea;
no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force;
no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters;
no society; and which is the worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

The Mission shall advise on measures to:
promote industrial development;
promote agricultural production;
promote foreign trade;
accelerate physical reconstruction;
strengthen and revitalize the research and education system, in agriculture and more generally;
secure political order.
