The Disruptors Jacobin

The Disruptors: Finance isn’t just an industry. It’s a system of social control. Jacobin (resilc). Note it does not have to be that way. As Michael Hudson points out, the German model in the 19th century was one of industrial capitalism, with banks playing a subordinate role. Even in the US, prior to ~1980, people in financial services had the same average wages as those of the economy as a whole.The Pitfalls of Privatization Washington Monthly (resilc)Dear @TheEconomist: Nice chart, but why have you fudged the scale for Britain? The line should be double as long. Trying to hide something?pic.twitter.com/n3aVGcWmVD— Laurie Macfarlane (@L__Macfarlane) October 25, 2017With business booming under Trump, private prison giant gathers at president’s resort Washington PostThe Real Story of Automation Beginning with One Simple Chart Medium One chart I question is the one showing manufacturing production versus manufacturing jobs. The reason is that the “manufacturing production” chart almost certainly values production as the wholesale sales price. The problem is that in many industries, particularly cars, manufacture of many components takes place overseas with only final assembly with perhaps some other minor value added activities in the US. So those parts have embedded labor cost in them which is not at all reflected in the US job count. Not saying that a properly done chart would not show some displacement of labor by capital, but I suspect it would not be dramatic (ie, this chart reflects the impact of offshoring more than automation).
