No doubt. But the ratio of the number of people who actually made things to the number of speculators and paper pushers used to be much higher, no?

Just to give you an idea - I went to a shopping mall the other day first time since a long time (I avoid them like the plague), and what struck me was the number of stores selling mobile phones. There were maybe 10 such stores, and Sprint alone had two or three. To my mind, this is a pure example of unproductive labor - since you can buy mobile services online. Not to mention a broader question - how many mobile devices do people really need?
