TED Talks In the ongoing debate about globalization, what's been missing is the voices of workers -- the millions of people who migrate to factories in China and other emerging countries to make goods sold all over the world.
Our collective understanding of modern industrialization and globalization needs to go beyond the binary of "oppressors" and "victims." This lecture explores the voices and lives of Chinese workers that we so often simply see as simply victims of a system, but are full of ambition and agency.

The workers seem to not see their work as bad as we see it. They see it as a opportunity, bette then waht they had before.

I think that we often overlook the fact that life and culture is very different in these places. Here, the factory workers probably don't want the I-phones that they are making. We don't think about the people and how they WANT these jobs. These people want to make their life better, just like you and me.

In these Chinese factories, they don't view these jobs as harsh or poor treatment because this is better than how they would be doing back in their villages. They want these jobs so bad because they will give them a better life. Also, you have to remember that not all of these Chinese factory workers want to have an iPhone or a Coach purse or Nike shoes, because those things don't have any worth in their culture.

This is still all speculation, but this speculation is grounded in the very real possibility that Greece may leave the Eurozone. This one possible scenario would have a profound ripple effect throughout the European Union and beyond. This interactive explores each of these 8 possible results.

Articolo interessante sulle ripercussioni di un eventuale fallimento della Grecia (con uscita dall'euro a seguito) che ci ricorda (per chi ne avesse bisogno) che il debito pubblico non è frutto della fantasia di qualcuno ma piuttosto qualcosa di molto molto tangibile. Il debito, i tassi di interesse, lo spread, sono tutte variabili cui la nostra classe politica deve prestare una grossa attenzione.
