I feel like there's a good joke about an atheistic (and formerly Communist) country producing Bibles for a more religious country as they beat them at their own game of capitalism, but I'm too tired to fully form it at the moment.
- Zenst 7y agoPerhaps that old saying "Could sell ice to the Eskimos" has been usurped. Which is probably a good thing.
- Analemma_ 7y agoI mean, the ostensibly Communist country now has a higher Gini coefficient than us too [0], so the joke goes both ways. [0]: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2172rank.html https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/...
- berbec 7y agoHas the definition of formerly changed? :)
- TulliusCicero 7y agoNo. While the PRC is still nominally communist, for the most part now they just look state capitalist. It's hard to find much that's socialist/communist in their economy these days.
