- dmichulke 3y agoYou mean consumerism, I don't think anyone would produce if it wouldn't be bought.
- PaulHoule 3y agoChina is practicing a very different form of "capitalism" where huge amounts of capital are invested into maglev and such. (Something you can't do here because people have property rights and getting the right of way is almost impossible.)
- geodel 3y agoSo what people will do after saving time by fast travel using maglev. I would've guessed spending time on leisure, food, shopping, entertainment. But since it is China all saved time will go towards spiritual fulfillment not consumerism.
