White Collars Turn Blue
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: September 29, 1996

"Perhaps the best way to describe the flawed vision of fin de siecle
futurists is to say that, with few exceptions, they expected the coming of an
''immaculate'' economy -- one in which people would be largely emancipated
from any grubby involvement with the physical world. The future, everyone
insisted, would bring an ''information economy'' that would mainly produce
intangibles. The good jobs would go to ''symbolic analysts,'' who would push
icons around on computer screens; knowledge, rather than traditional
resources like oil or land, would become the primary source of wealth and
power."
