Economist of the Empire

I enjoyed the article( perhaps you could have put in more about his love life), but I always find phrases like "post-industrial" or "post-Fordism" was another one that was in vogue, a little imprecise. I take, not unreasonably in my opinion, "post-industrial" to mean that there is no more production of goods anywhere. However since that doesn't make sense, it must only really apply to the advanced capitalist sector. The world isn't "post-industrial" in any way whatsoever, the industry has just moved to a different place, that's all.
