The move away from manufacturing, infrastructure, and a gold backed monetary system are the main reasons for the erosion of the middle class. Hi-tech is only one small piece of the pie. I would hardly say "it where it's at" in the context of discussing the middle class.
and not to be chippy but " hairdressers, waiters and walmart cashiers" are not manufacturing jobs... they are services.
