We have similar delusions here in the Netherlands, but we call it the "knowledge economy". The arrogant and misguided idea that us advanced smart people would do the thinking whilst the dummies make the stuff. Which means you unlearn how to make anything whilst the other party gets ever more advanced at it. And then takes over the thinking too. You end up with a select few Excel managers, a decimated middle class, and a layer of poor local service workers. The destruction of the middle class in the West has been ongoing for decades now and almost every single problem can be traced back to it.
