It's the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and what better way to begin than by looking at riches, opulence and branding. WNYC will rebroadcast the discussion between Naomi Klein, brand-skeptic, and Sameena Ahmad, label-lover, who disagree on nearly all the questions of globalization. They're joined by a global investment manager and an African pro-democracy, pro-environment activist. How would you like to live in the town of Got Milk?, USA? With state and local governments facing huge budget deficits, some companies and industry groups are ready to offer creative -and somewhat unorthodox- solutions. Also: while social reformers claim growing inequality, James Twitchell in his book Living It Up says luxury has actually been democratized.
