The costs of being cheap...

There is a good review in Salon today -- http://www.salon.com/books/review/2009/07/12/cheap/index.html. The book is called Cheap, and it is a discussion of the costs inherent in our culture's seemingly insatiable desire for ever-cheaper products.

In addition to Walmart, and China, IKEA comes in for a particularly rough ride in the book -- for their lumber usage, and the impact of their goods on consumer culture.

The review is well written, and it appears that Cheap is definitely worth the read. It is being added to the 108Warren Commission reading list...

So many good books to read, so little time...
