And once again I am back after quite a while. It is 8.30 pm, I am dead tired, but my husband isn't home yet from work and the kids are in bed, so I finally have time to write.
I am reading an interesting book: Cheap. The High Cost of Discount Culture, by Ellen Ruppel Shell and I recommend it wholeheartedly. It has interesting info about what makes us buy stuff, the history of discount stores and the consequences our discount culture has. Obviously they aren't pretty, ranging from working class unenployment, as more and more jobs are being outsourced overseas in search for lower and lower wages to deforestation, as more and more wood is needed to create cheap furniture.
