Greed is good.

Yes, some of the employees are so will they commit suicide at the awful conditions and poor wages corporations pay making western gadgets.

The employers control the STATE and the STATE makes sure that wages are kept low by outlawing and restricting Trade unions, creating unemployment, importing cheap foreign labor.

The idea that the market is free is deluded. On one side is the employer backed by the courts, wealth and power and on the other the worker who has little or nothing and the need to feed his family.

The result of this can be see in the fact that the economies have grown over the last 30 years but wages have not. The workers are just "Willing" to give more of the money to the rich....
