The fact that Marx so stated, does not alter the reality that it is true. He wasn't the first or last to make such an observation.
Can all 317 Million Americans be brain-surgeons?
Nope.
I just totally debunked your myth.
Even if all 317 Million Americans really did have the potential to be brain-surgeons, you don't have the Capital to educate and train them, because Capital is fixed and finite.
It's just like your medical care system. You're using the Hospital Model which is grossly Capital Intensive and the least efficient means of delivery of medical care, and then on top of that, it's run by a monopoly (the American Hospital Association) which adds to the inefficiency. Your hospitals are sitting on tons of Capital that's going nowhere and doing for you. The ACA has made that worse.
That's why "
Drill! Baby, Drill!" is the stupidest thing ever.
The oil and natural gas industries are Capital Intensive: they suck cash, credit, labor and host of other Capital right out of the Market. O Canada! is finding that out the hard way.
That's what comparative trade is about. The goal is to get a comparative trade advantage, and that comes by letting foreign States produce those things that are not efficient for you to produce.
How stupid is it to tie up precious Capital in the form of cash, credit, labor, land, and all other manner of resources to produce plastic kitchen utensils, when that can be done in China or India more efficiently?
You can't even export that stuff, because your prices are way too high. And they always will be. In case you forgot, you're surrounded by oceans and plastic kitchen utensils don't swim (very well).
That's why you never let government interfere in the free flow of Capital, because they do nothing but muck things up.

The Swiss economy
Switzerland’s economy is based on a highly qualified labour force performing highly skilled work. The main areas include microtechnology, hitech, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, as well as banking and insurance know-how. The service sector now employs the greatest number of people.

....microtechnology, hitech, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals...
The Swiss have something the US does not have: an expanding 5th Level Economy.
Of course, Switzerland is a country -- not a nation --- having only 8 Million people, and nearly all of them are of German, French or Italian descent.
Most importantly.....Switzerland --- which is a federal republic like the US -- did not allow the Left-Wing to destroy the public education system with a horrid Department of (Un)Education. The Swiss moved into their 5th Level Economy in the mid-1990s just like they were supposed to do, while the US stagnated and went in reverse.
What's that saying? It's hard to soar with Eagles when you're grounded with Turkeys. The 5th Level Economy is like the Eagles, and the Turkeys prance about in the 2nd Level Economy.
Whenever you stop picking your nose and grow up and start acting like a citizen, then maybe you can get rid of the Department of (Un)Education and then perhaps you will have a chance to move into your 5th Level Economy and create good paying stable jobs.
