i dont think its anyone's fault, the goal of any company is to maximize profit. maximizing profit is pretty much what america was built on.
capitalism is the reason europeans have been the dominant force in the world for the past ____ years, and is the main reason for china's rise to power today
Well it definitely put Europe where they are but, I personally think our consumerism is a strength and a weakness. It's putting a hamper on family values (Black Friday, Christmas, long business hours, work 40+ hours a week all take away from the home). If you look a most European nations now, they have grown a bit more conservative and mature on how they balance business with quality of life.
As for China, poverty, Communism,and noncontrol of local government corruption will hamper them sooner or later. Mark my words.
