Is it so, as some wags say, that industry no longer makes money; only finance does? That's been the operating theory for much of the West lately. Of course, that invites the question: what then is finance supposed to finance... that is, put money into? Why... industry, of course, and in the broadest sense of the word: the production of goods... goods being things that have value (that's what's

Facebook users, then, are increasingly not employed, at least not in the production of goods. Perhaps in services like nursing, trucking, garbage pickup, food prep, police, firemen, prison guards, government bureaucracy (is that a service or a dis-service?)
