The rise of History

Yikes, this could be a book larger than War and Peace! Okay, I live near a Walmart and unfortunately I shop there from time to time. Giant corporations provide cheap employment, low prices and miles of cheap products some child made in China for about 10 cents an hour. Unfortunately the West, America in particular, is addicted to cheap gadgets and toys and...cheap everything. Supporters say, the people overseas need the jobs and putting I-Pads together for $2.00 a day beats collecting rice in some swampy rice paddy all day. Does getting your I-Pad for $50 dollars cheaper warrant some poor kid soldering micro-chips for 16 hours a day? I don't know, but those are some of the arguments.
