Note that Moynihan's 2012 talk reflects the realization of the issues
warned by James Goldsmith in this 1994 Charlie Rose interview:

Goldsmith's arguments are somewhat paradoxical since he was instrumental in the de-industrialization of Britain during the 1970s (and of the USA during the 1980s) from which he profited greatly. If you haven't seen this Goldsmith interview yet, I strongly recommend it.
