“To break the law of his land- to turn bad news into good news- is the entrepreneur’s prerogative” (pg. 32, Munna, Balram Halwai, The White Tiger)
To desire something is often linked to wanting or wishing for something to happen, especially sexually. Hope is also a desire for something to happen, but hope has a “good” overtone- wishing something to happen that will help another. Desire is more about the individuals wish for themselves. No doubt one can desire and therefore demand good things. As an individual do you know where your products come from and why they are produced in that specific country? What does the world have to offer- product wise, and are we demanding well made, fair trade goods or cheapness? Supply and Hope?
