The modern way of making a living is financial chicanery and using
borrowed money in a myriad of very creative ways.

The old fashioned way of making one's living was "making stuff to
sell".

The credit crisis means that borrowed money will be a lot less
available. For now to the consumer, but later to the government as
well.

I expect that the old way will return back, which means, surprise
surprise, a bigger emphasis on "manufacturing" and likely
"metalworking".

Yeah, but it probably will mean whacking a piece of copper on a stone,
hitting it with another stone...

YOU'VE got copper? You lucky, lucky *******!

Luck has nothing to do with it. Digging it out of the ground is hard work,
using this wooden stick.

It's a long way before we get back to the industrial age. 'Got any spear
points you'd like to trade? I can throw in a couple of poodle skins.
