"Some economists contrast wealth-producing sectors in an economy such as manufacturing with the service sector which tends to be wealth-consuming." This seems to be a splinter view not worth mentionning in an article of this scope. Also the source cited is not academic. It is unclear in which way any sector of the economy should be more wealth-consuming or creating than any other. It depends on how one defines wealth, creation and consumption. While these are clearly thorny issues, the view that services are wealth consuming clearly is not a view held by many economists or any of rename, so "some economists" should be specified.

[edit] Manufacturing

Why has the service sector been included in a page on the secondary sector? This clearly belongs in the Tertiary sector page - or at least it always has as far as I'm concerned and also who cares ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.84.143.30 (talk) 11:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Creative/telecommunications industries
