You're one of the 1st people I've heard (outside my immediate circle of peers) that actually 'gets it' regarding the relationship between industrial/manufacturing capacity and wealth generation. There are only 3 ways to generate wealth in an economy: Exploit a natural resource (e.g. oil), agriculture, and manufacturing. That's it. All the talk of 'transitioning to a service economy' as we shed manufacturing jobs like it's no big deal is foolish beyond the pale, and I thank you for pointing that out. Take care, Bryan Excellent post and points all around.
