CNet. China to become manufacturing powerhouse. They are welcome to it. Why? Manufacturing is rapidly declining. Both the number of people necessary to do it and the percentage of personal income devoted to manufactured items is falling. This is very much like what occured in agriculture. Today only 2% of the population in the US is in agriculture (much less than Europe -- 7% -- and Japan -- 15% -- but that is due to protected inefficiencies). Agriculture is also a commodity business, highly competitive, and mostly still family farms (90% plus of all farming output is still done by family farms and not agribusiness). It's a 100 a week business for $50k a year. Food is now a small portion of the budget of most homes. Manufacturing is following a similar path. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
