In the real world, you're either producing, consuming, or counting the beans as they change hands. I found this to be one of the best descriptions of our looming "service" economy:
Smart people coming out of college used to go to business school or directly into the corporate world. They used their smarts to create wealth. Today the preferred path is to go to law school, where they learn how to take wealth from other people.
And as Radley backpedaled here, it's not a slam on lawyers. But there's just so many times the money can be counted before those counting realize there's no one producing wealth anymore.
