Description
Riddle has written a series of essays constituting a brief for the greater recognition of the service industries. Her definition of services includes infrastructure, trade services, and community services. They not only contribute to employment and income but facilitate and stimulate growth in other economic sectors. These activities, rather than manufacturing, are the key source of economic growth. Riddle supports her conclusions with a series of statistical analyses based on World Bank data. Choice
