Just look at American investments banks ... oh wait ... it's 2009 now. Never mind. Anyway, I followed the link from the recent Peter Schiff post. You are not really criticizing Peter Schiff, because again if you follow him closely he will also say that service sector improvements are not inherently any less good than production improvements. That is in principle I think he agrees with you. However, he was arguing that a lot of America's service sector was based on fluff that resulted in a system whereby the Fed helps the economy by printing cash. Also I think he would argue your measurements aren't entirely correct because they are in dollars, which are overvalued (for political reasons). He often used the financial sector as an area where supposedly America offered really good services, but he stated this was completely false. He seems to have been spot on. I think you need to take a closer look at Peter Schiff is saying. American service sectors rule, dude. Just look at American investments banks … oh wait … it’s 2009 now.

Never mind.

For example, they don't appear to be adjusted for inflation/size of our population, but absolute numbers; and things like 'manufacturing' weapons might be a big part of the story.

Unfortunately, the info lacks details and it lacks links to details.
