Is industry a good thing or a bad thing?

There are currently two opposite views on industry: A positive view: industry provides high-wage, skilled jobs and makes it possible to balance foreign trade; A negative view: countries that have a large-scale industry are suffering due to the transformation of the world into a service economy, and due to weak demand for industrial products, the decline in traditional industries and the climate constraints. In reality, these views are not incompatible: It is necessary to have an industry that can meet the country’s demand and also regional demand; It is positive to have large companies in the industries of the future; But the mercantilist model of an oversized industry serving the global market is becoming negative.
