>deindustrialisation since as only after 1973 WAS there a downward shift,
>confined to high income countries, in their cross country relationship
>between the industrial employment share and the level of per capita income,
>it is hard to believe that the decline in the share of mfg employment was
>simply the result of longstanding trends in sectoral productivity growth or
>in the composition of demand."
