I think these days, we are raising consumers who feel that they are producers - yet create nothing and own nothing.

It is fairly easy to see the production process for physical goods. Services are sometimes also quite visible, although a lot also happens behind the scenes, out of public sight, in the world of business infrastructure and support. Once we reach the digital realm, things can get muddled. However, the greatest deception is from the political realm where plunderers claim to produce necessary goods and services, those who avoid plunder are portrayed as thieves, and productive firms are corrupted by the influence of politics. That last point is all too frequently blamed on "free market failure" by those blind to the iron fist of the state, and those who want to seize such political power for their own ends.
