Hi All,
I never thought of a luxury good as one that was needed. Or, rather of a
person that was needed. And children are needed by a community - not
necessarily an individual member. Can something that is needed also be
abused or exploited? Yes. Medication, food.... Can I answer yes to all
three of your questions Doug? At the same time, I would think that there is
more to the relationship then just exploitation, investment and consumption.
