	Tertiary sector of industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tertiary sector of industry, also called the service sector or the service industry, is one of the three main industrial categories of a developed economy, the others being the secondary industry (manufacturing and primary goods production such as agriculture), and primary industry (extraction such as mining and fishing).
		Services may involve the transport, distribution and sale of goods from producer to a consumer as may happen in wholesaling and retailing, or may involve the provision of a service, such as in tourism or entertainment.
		The term service economy, in contrast, refers to a model wherein as much economic activity as possible is treated as a service.

	Service economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One is the increased importance of the service sector in industrialized economies.
		Services now account for a higher percentage of GDP than just 20 years ago.
		Full cost accounting and most accounting reform and monetary reform measures are usually thought to be impossible to achieve without a good model of the service economy.

	The Experience Economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore in their 1999 book of the same name, is an advanced service economy which has begun to sell "mass customization" services that are similar to theatre, using underlying goods and services as props.
		Their thesis has been criticized as an example of an over-hyped business philosophy arising from or in the dotcom boom and a rising economy in the U.S. that was tolerant of high prices, inflated claims, and no limitations of supply - or investment.
		Detracters contrast it with other service economy theses such as Natural Capitalism, in which there is a clear focus on making measurably better use of scarce resources, usually considered to be the basis of economics.

	The Hindu : Limits of a service economy
		Services recorded annual rates of growth of more than 7 to 8 per cent a year during the past decade and the Reserve Bank recently suggested that this was responsible for much of the resilience of growth in the 1990s.
		The growth of these services is more a reflection of inadequate growth in agriculture and industry and the need to survive, than an autonomous source of growth.
		In that sense, there is an element of the growth of India's service sector which is not reflective of "a post-industrial economy", as would be suggested by the 50 per cent share of services in India's GDP, but instead reflects a relative failure of the other two sectors.

	GATS: Service Economy Gets the WTO Treatment
		Other countries resisted having their services come under international rules promoting "progressive liberalization." They would only agree to GATS if they could use a "bottom up" approach where they would choose which services would be covered by the agreement.
		If a country puts a service on its schedule of commitments, then the service is subject to "market access" rules which apply to its entire territory or any regional subdivision.
		As a result, public services are likely to be forced into constant competition with the corporations leading to slashing of labor costs (including wages) and services to the poor.

		The service sector is one of the three main industrial categories of a developed economy, the others being manufacturing and agriculture.
		Manufacturing tends to be more open to international trade than services.
		The resultant shrinkage of manufacturing in the leading economies might explain their growing reliance on the service sector.

		Of course, they are paying him back in other services: 1000 hours of maid service in exchange for 1 hour of surgery; 200 haircuts for a removed appendix; 20 college educations for a triple bypass.
		Quite simply, we are left with a libertarian, free-market economy, in which people own their own bodies and can acquire the services of others solely by contractual agreement.

		The decade-long expansion of the U.S. economy accompanied by strong IT growth and low inflation and unemployment has been characterized as 'the new economy.' Its characteristics are in large part related to advances of IT, digital technologies and the Internet in almost all aspects of economic life.
		During the period 1970-1994, employment in the service sector grew by 70 percent.
		The new service economy departs from the cost minimization economics of the industrial economy but this transformation is not automatic simply because we are endowed with IT and digital goods.

		Services inflation (based on the services component of the broad GDP chain-weighted price index) was running at a 3.0% y-o-y rate at the last business cycle peak in 4Q00.
		Government statisticians estimate that CPI-based services inflation would be running at a 2.6% y-o-y rate in August 2002 if the rent of shelter were excluded; that would be fully 0.5 percentage point slower than the 3.1% rate currently estimated for services as a whole.
		With 78% of its private sector workforce toiling in the services sector, deflation in tradable goods is argued to represent an expansion of purchasing power for the bulk of the nation.

	John Locke Foundation \| Carolina Beat \| No. 752: What's the Big Deal About a Service Economy?
		But many people are worried when they hear these words because they think a service economy implies low-paying jobs and a lower standard of living.
		Also, 60 percent of the service jobs added in North Carolina in the past decade have paid the same or more than the manufacturing jobs lost in the state.
		However, even with these positive aspects to a service economy, there’s still an argument made by some that a country or region can’t prosper by trading services.

	The Emergence of the Service Economy: Fact or Artifact?
		The emergence of the service economy has given birth to the public policy worry that the United States is being reduced to a nation of orderlies, fast-food workers, and bus boys.
		The central conclusion of the previous sections of this paper is that the emergence of the service economy thought to be depicted in Figure 1 may be explained, albeit partially, by viewing it as an artifact of data gathering.
		Furthermore, it can be assumed that employees in service bureaus who were no longer able to secure rents from their firms and yet were capable of competing with market rivals have moved to the service sector and offered their services to the firms that once employed them.

	How can I know that the service economy is collapsing and not just experiencing cyclical ups and downs? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In the 1999-2000 period, the amount of money required to be pumped into the economy, the world and US economy, to keep the financial markets from collapsing, exceeded the amount of financial values which were being rescued by monetary pumping.
		So the assumption that the economy has been growing, is obviously false, because if we measure economy in terms of the general welfare of the population of the nation.
		Now that is coming to an end, and the 40-year fraud of a shift from the most productive economy on the planet, to a services economy which is a predator sucking the blood of other nations, at a time when the other nations aren't going to put up with the sucking, we're finished.

	Daniel Bassill's Blog: How to create a networked Social Service economy
		We're part of an economy with thousands, perhaps millions of large and small networks that are not connected to each other in any consistent or strategic manner.
		Thus, while there are networks of people beginning to build a personal commitment to helping kids born in poverty reach jobs careers, these networks are not open to you and me, nor are they systematically connected to similar people in other companies, or other cities.
		The technology that is emerging gives us the potential of a networked economy, but it is the passion of leaders who will draw people into networked portals that focus on specific social issues.

		In terms of the numbers employed in the service economy compared with previous eras when the primary sectors, mining and farming, and the secondary sector, manufacturing, employed the vast majority, the percentage is certainly rising all the time -- at least so far.
		But when you analyse service employment of any sort you will find that, in every instance, the jobs involve either personal services (that is, to someone else's physical environment, body or brain) -- which actually add nothing to overall wealth production -- or they involve skills (e.g.

		For Moskos, a Northwestern University professor and author of the armed services' wildly successful "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, this is an intolerable irony.
		The armed forces show a distinct lack of interest in a new draft (an inconvenience Moskos chalks up to institutional rigidity), and arguably have reached a state of professional specialization that renders conscripted legions unnecessary or problematic.
