Eric Weiner Quote
Moldovans, most of whom will never be able to afford the products advertised—unless they sell a kidney. Joseph Epstein, in his book on envy, described the entire advertising industry as a vast and intricate envy-producing machine. In Moldova, all of that envy has nowhere to dissipate; it just accumulates, like so much toxic waste.
