Raj Patel has a brief but revelatory talk on what the American way of life truly costs the rest of the planet. He estimates that, if the true labor and environmental costs were not “outsourced” to other places, a hamburger would cost about $200. Even if that figure turns out to be wildly inflated, it might begin reframing the conversation about what our way of life really means to everyone else.
