Ressionomics - update 1. Gold pills




Ressionomics - update 1

The 1980's were deemed the 'decade of greed' and in that time Japan was that country that promoted excess like no other. Gold flakes sprinklered on desserts and junk yards with the latest VCR's (I mean it was the 1980's...) and huge tube televisions. Apparently you could also get (from the junkyard) a virtually new sofa and set of snazzy office chairs. But that was the 80's and Japan got hammered when their bubble burst, destroying stock gains for 27+ years and wealth in the process. Now the world faces the same crunch including Japan (even worst!).

But at some point in 2007 Gold Pills were brought onto the market. Created by the Artist Tobias Wong. An attempt at showing the digestible aspects of excess with a 'decade of greed' that puts the 1980's to shame.

Still they look pretty cool huh?
