Important to understand all the consequences of the world’s transition to a service economy

The world is currently rapidly being transformed in to a service economy, which has the following main consequences: Limited need for intermediate goods and industrial capital goods, a development that is very negative for countries specialised in these goods (Germany and South Korea, for example); Small investment requirements, which generates an ex ante situation of excess savings over investment, ex post leading to very low real long-term interest rates; Creation of new jobs concentrated in unsophisticated services, which increases inequality and reduces social mobility, and which reduces productivity gains and potential growth.
