XML FeedsWe can't all be wealthy consumers
By Stephan on May 1, 2010 | In English
In a world with unlimited resources, we could. Robots would be making all the stuff while we'd have a lot of time to go shopping (if this sounds like a nightmare to you, replace "shopping" with "curing diseases", "exploring space", "building better robots", "meditating" or whatever floats your boat).
In reality, this short PBS documentary shows what happens when you build the world's largest mall in a manufacturing city (Dōngguǎn, an export hub powered by migrant workers and infamous for poor wages and working conditions).
