According to Adam Smith writing in Wealth of Nations, Finance is the real ghetto.

Oh sure, it's clean inside soft-hands 'work' but wealth is the product of muscles and minds - like, among other enterprises, farming.

Agriculture is only 2% of GDP. Pretty ghetto, low tech. Can be done anywhere. Manufacturing requires huge capital investment, technical know how and is vital to any nations security. They call countries that are building an industrial base “developing” nations. So is the USA an “undeveloping” nation in the process of de-industrializing? I think so.
