All excellent points! A service economy is capable to surviving because the "Services" are traded as commodities. One buys stock in an airline or railroad (oddly railroading is a service economy), that is priced and traded like a tengible product. The problem occurs when the economy isc damaged or stagnant. The business cycle (that visious cycle we capitalists live by- Ah, Adam Smith) dictates that goods are produced in a factory which employs workers. These workers are paid and buy things from the marketplace. The marketplace obtains products from the factory (workplace) which pays the worker. Thus the cycle repeats. This goes so for the service economy, but without products you can grab. Those that fight for the "one world" marketplace cheer the fact that the US and its western allies are service economies. It means that they will procude products the the Service Economies can no longer manufacture. When the Western Markets collapse, they provide the bailout. From there the seeds of the ONE WORLD SOCIOPOLITICAL Sphere are sown. This is where many opinions vary. Now lets aplly this to railroads (model). When goods are produced in the FAR EAST under controlled markets (I.E. Bachmann parts) the prices are dictaded from Peking. The influx or removal of these products from the markets make the price of Large Scale equipment fluxuate. We are at the mercy of these forces. Solution: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MANUFACTURES! Much as been said in the negative about the Domestic Large Scale variety of Great Britain, you will (or should) purchase from them to make them grow and meet the demands of your desires! Same for US companies! By the way, we have now past the century mark and have six pages of posts on this thread! Capt Carrales
