I find the first part of this piece especially persuasive. The evidence from the startling downward trend in ROA coupled with recent revelations (not sure if this is the right word, but the numbers are definitely startling) on how/where jobs are *really* created.

My only comment is to that I think that the 'industrial' mindset is still applicable in certain circumstances. And that I suspect the compulsion to reduce everything to process is a human instinct which will be hard to overcome - it's probably even useful in a yin-yang/dialectical kind of way.

Great work with this.
