China´s Economic Miracle

If you want to change the world, start at home! Be the change. This is where the shit you buy from Falabela comes from. If you want to buy healthy, buy here! Christmas is supposed to be a time where we give some thought to people less fortunate. It is also a time of major consumeristic excess.

The incongruity of these two thoughts is starkly demonstrated by the clip below. This is China, factory for the world. Here, to make room for industries and infrastructure that China needs to supply the world with barbies, bicycles and toy berettas, the common people are forcibly evicted from their homes before seeing them demolished. It’s sobering to think, as we stand at the checkout – with our trolley overflowing with crap for little Tommy and Britney – that we are financing a tyrannical allegiance between governments and Big Industry.
