  Sure. I am not a free market zealot. But compare and contrast with, for example, shoes. Why the difference? Is it sustainable? This seems like a particularly interesting case study, perhaps not fitting well into any particular ideological framework.

    Eyeglasses are an example directly from this book, which at least one of the news organization has likely read. This problem is across every industry, but because of the way branding, shell corporations etc work people do not notice. Ask yourself whether shoes is truly different? How many places around the globe produce a _lot_ of shoes? How about hard drives? Refrigerators?
