"Let's suppose we want to provide the world's total population with a quantifiable access to nutrition, say 2,700 calories a day, as well as access to drinkable water and basic health resources. This will add up, more or less, to the amount of money that the inhabitants of Europe and The United States spend every year on perfumes." (Alain Badiou)

just puts it all down to brass tacks.
just read today that Gaxo Smith Kline are declaring cheap drugs for third world countries-fucking joke!Theey should be giving away free drugs to everyone-they make enough from fat fighting shit in USA to probebly research and find a cure for HIV.
Fuckin Fuckers
Absofuckinlutely.
What I love about this quote is that even if Badiou was exaggerating (and I don't think he is considering the amount of dosh, for instance, that Obama is using to regenerate the U.S.) you only need add on one more luxury product and you know its true.
