A goods economy only produces prosperity if you have people who can pay for the product. Neither goods nor service sectors exist in a vacuum. I would much rather see an integrated economy. We no longer manufacture a number of things. That doesn’t mean we no longer manufacture anything. There is also the matter of value added industry. This is not a simple matter of factory work being inherently better than other types of work.
