If your country doesn't produce hard goods, it'll eventually be at the complete mercy of those that do. That's why the "service economy" is a meme, nearly all services require goods to facilitate their existence. A primarily service-based economy only functions in highly specific circumstances like Singapore, where physical constraints limit their manufacturing output but trillions of dollars worth of goods pass through their ports thanks to their strategic geography.
