Any one of numerous species of marine bivalve mollusks of
the genus Pecten and allied genera of the family Pectinidae. The shell
is usually radially ribbed, and the edge is therefore often undulated
in a characteristic manner. The large adductor muscle of some the
species is much used as food. One species (Vola Jacobaeus) occurs on
the coast of Palestine, and its shell was formerly worn by pilgrims as
a mark that they had been to the Holy Land. Called also fan shell. See
Pecten, 2.
All types of societies are limited by economic factors. Nineteenth century civilization alone was economic in a different and distinctive sense, for it chose to base itself in a motive rarely acknowledged as valid in history of human societies, and certainly never before raised to the level of justification of action and behavior in everyday life, namely, gain. The self-regulating market system was uniquely derived from this principle. The mechanism which the motive gain set in motion was comparable in effectiveness only to the most violent outburst of religious fervor in history. Within a generation the whole human world was subjected to its undiluted influence.
