Listening to some old bloke on the radio this morning, he was saying something along the lines of how we ought to be grateful to the financial sector for being such a large part of our economy.
Now, you'll have to correct me if I'm wring, but doesn't the financial sector pretty much only benefit the very richest? And isn't the financial sector also extremely volatile and most likely to cause a recession every 5 or 10 years because it's run and staffed by criminals and gamblers?
Mind you. If we rebuilt a manufacturing industry, I'm not quite sure how it could compete with those in parts of the world where they're taking home what equates to slave wages in this country. It's all rather complicated.
