Capitalists Anonymous: A group to help French in buying less
by editors@theworld.org (Gerry Hadden) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6MWXK)
Like alcoholics or drug addicts, many people are hooked on capitalism. That is, shopping for stuff they don't need, and polluting out of convenience. That's what a new group in France says, anyway. These weary citizens are starting to meet, to share their problems and get on a 8-step path to recovery from consumerism. Capitalists Anonymous is for anyone who feels worse the more they buy, or guiltier for using their gas-guzzling car, but can't seem to get unplug from the system. The World's Gerry Hadden reports from Marseille, France.
