Racist, Sexist, Exploitative Capitalism It was amazing to me how quickly she overturned the power structure within her family,” Leslie Chang writes in Factory Girls, her 2008 book on internal migration within China. Chang is marveling at Min, a 17-year-old who left her family farm to find work in a succession of factories in the rapidly urbanizing city of Dongguan. Had Min never left home, she would have been expected to marry a man from a nearby village, to bear his children, and to accept her place in a tradition that privileges husbands over wives. But months after Min found work in Dongguan, she was already advising her father on financial planning, directing her younger siblings to stay in school, and changing jobs without bothering to ask her parents’ permission.”
“Are Property Rights Enough?” Reason, November 2009 How could the noble communists let this happen in their country? They should have taken people off their family farms and put them into communal farms, so they could capitalize on - I mean, make the most of - their already communal culture, bringing to fruition the bounty of true brotherhood. Oh, wait, they did, and they starved by the tens of millions. (The people, that is - not the noble, selfless communists.) Does anyone remember that? Those were the good old days. But now they’ve turned to the Dark Side. And it all happened because some greedy people wanted to get rich. May they all reap what they sow. |
