It's not always a question of honor. In a socialist/communist environment
work (or the workers) own the tools and not each individual worker.

As China and India come up in the world, it's going to be the way things
are done.

What keeps the small craftsmen in the west going is that no one can duplicate
the work they do, at the price they do it. Eventually due to improved skill
and more automation, they will.

When it gets to the point that a designer in the US can email a design file
to a shop in Hong Kong, or elsewhere in the PRC, and get a perfect model
delivered by FedEx in a few days for 1/2 the cost of producing locally,
those companies will close quickly.

Look at what happened to the printing industry.

Geoff.

Printing hell! You can "print" hard 3D prototypes now.

But according to the dumbass, buying such a machine will surely take
your company down.
