--Actually nothing in the quotes you excerpted show that Doug thinks this

all. He's refuting the mythology that there is some new source to American
increases in productivity during the nineties other than the production of
concrete commodities in the manufacturing sector. to jump then to the
conclusion that Doug then endorses capitalism as, to borrow from the ol'
lady, TINA, well that's a pretty creative reading, but nonetheless not an
accurate one.
