I love Alain de botton s writing.
Rings true in Dubai particularly. They pay non residents who live in near squalor hidden in the glitz of the city just a few dollars an hour for basic construction tasks, and send them home again, even years later. not a money haven for all. Anyway..
Yup...which might explain why Dubai is home to less than a million people. If the workers were to have fully benefited from their toil and permitted to settle, perhaps from Burj Khalifa alone they'd have at least a million more.
