A Quote

This is from the book FREEDOM FOR SALE by John Kampfner....

'These twenty years of globalised wealth creation transformed governments and people's understanding of freedoms. the pre-eminent freedom had become financial - to earn, to keep one's money and to consume. All the other freedoms were subjugated to that end, with political leaders even extolling shopping as a patriotic duty. This combined with the internet and other technological advances, created a cultural homogeneity not seen before. The super rich, the quite rich and the aspiring rich, whether in St Petersburg, Shanghai, Sao Paulo or South Kensington, inhabited a uniform world of the same designers, the same brands, the same social networking sites and communication tools, the same sports cars and the same holiday destinations. A cultural conformism was born, a herd mentality that provided an easy environment for those in power to operate in.'
