Acerca da re-industrialização da Europa

Relativamente ao tema da re-industrialização e ao que penso dela (não acredito num regresso ao modelo do século XX) encontrei esta reflexão de Geoffrey Moore, "Middle Class Job Creation in the Digital Era":

"First, let me note that the U.S. may not in fact be a postmanufacturing economy. Pendulums swing in both directions, and one can imagine the manufacturing pendulum swinging back onshore.
But there is no guarantee this will happen, and even if it does, it may not happen in a time frame soon enough to solve for the core of our middle class concerns. So for the purposes of this paper, let us assume that we cannot rely on manufacturing for the foreseeable future and work out what course of action to take in that case.
.
The core of a postmanufacturing economy evolves from migrating to a digital or information economy.
...
To survey the landscape of work from a 50,000 foot perspective, consider the following diagram:
...
Given this rationale, there are 36 zones of employment in business enterprises that, due to theimpact of migrating from a manufacturing to a digital economy, have been or could be impacted. To get the conversation started, I have represented my hypothesis about each zone by one of four states:
   ● More jobs in the new economy (15 of 36)
   ● Fewer jobs in the new economy (4 of 36)
   ● Unchanged in the new economy (7 of 36)
   ● Disrupted by the new economy (10 of 36)
Let me emphasize, this is a hypothesis."

E considerando esta hipótese, o futuro não está no produto à la século XX, o futuro passa pelo intangível, pelo serviço misturado com o produto.
