Stitch,

>Actually I said "exploitative", spelling it correctly <G><

I sit corrected. If I can get through a couple of sentences without a spell checker, I consider it a moral victory :)

I think both of us are speaking in terms of "ideals". You concerning free trade and free markets and me concerning "enlightened" benevolence on the part of governments and employers. Neither are probably humanly attainable but we can both dream <G>

I know this is the Asia forum but I didn't mean to imply that the problems sited are endemic to Asia. Originally I tried to say that the development of a healthy and hopefully large middle class could contribute to the economic and political stability of any country. I may be wrong but it seems that giving individuals the wherewithal to own property ( a dwelling), some savings and the ability to consume some consumer goods, soothes the savage soul. If couch potato suburban America is any measuring stick?

The best to you.
