Hey Alex
I do appreciate and share your lament ...However.
There are things we still make (I make/sell a few of them myself)
However I also contract to the resource industry & I have seen the change in that industry where industrial plant up to the size of a 10 story building is bought into Aust by ship, having been made in Thailand, Malaysia Etc in PAM yards (Pre assembled Modules) The quality of these is often dubious, but our government allows this. As for the Kids, it is the responsibility of the PARENT to teach kids the value of Money, Reward for effort & possibly more importantly a political awareness that the future is in their hands.
For my part, I involve my family in my enterprise and seek to teach the skill of self reliance & having a questioning mind.
Good on the Hippys, I grew up in a "Hip Capitalist" family in the 70's and enterprise is in my blood :-)
