Here, in the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, vast financial sector salaries empty manufacturing industries of their best-educated people, and politicians, hooked on the City’s money-making machine, sneer at the dirty and difficult smokestack industries.
This has happened similarly and nearly simultneously, all over the world. The best minds hve been redirected to making money and clever schemes. In the new tech driven economy a similar parallel can be drawn, where the cleverest minds and maximum energy are directed to clickbaiting instead of building better products for humanity.
