CAPITALISM at The Great Wall of CHINA

I love that China is now probably the most capitalistic place on the face of the Earth. This shot is of an entrepreneur at the Great Wall keeping her cost of sales low by hiking around the entrance to the wall where a fee would be charged and where her inventory would face confiscation. Instead, this woman's mother has already climbed the wall and is receiving the tossed t-shirts from her daughter.

I cannot imagine how difficult the hike was to reach the wall, let alone climbing the wall. All for a few dollars per t-shirt. You begin to appreciate working a regular job more and more when you see how the rest of the world struggles to survive.
