Luxury, hunger and fury
By David Brooks
From the Mexican newspaper La Jornada
The demand for luxury goods – from $800 shoes and cosmetic creams
retailing for $1,300 to Mercedes-Benz cars prized at $200,000 – is
enjoying a boom, while nearly 46 million Americans rely more than ever
on federal assistance to buy basic foods and avoid hunger. That sums up
the United States today.
