As for "worse is better", I suppose that that ultimately depends upon the subsequent course that people head down, and that, to a great extent, will depend upon what is available politically at the time.

However, given that the population's growing this is more or less inevitable, unless things were REALLY bad. It's GDP per capita that should concern us.

Finance and services are essentially parasitical in comparison (particularly finance) and only small countries like Switzerland and tax havens like Monaco can live off them.
