> Cheap labor, large doses of capital, and corrupt expropriation of land from the poor and politically non compliant are a big part of that picture; if the prosperity of some is dependent on the injury of others it isn't the generation of wealth, it's theft. India has also had wildly increasing rates of suicides among farmers,  massive doses of religiously based killings and theft .  etc. The real question is whether a sustainable economy is emerging or a temporary bubble followed by rising oceans, poisoned ecosystems and wars.

Itz cheap to you cause you wouldn't work for the wages the chinese and
indians are quite happy to slave for. The injury is on you and the
other americans and high wage earners. You will be the losers as the
poor in the world gain.
