An ornately decorated elephant leads a parade through an Indian village. A religious holiday? No, a promotional campaign for soap. Consumer society is coming, and India's growing population is looking westward, demanding the same goods and a similar living standard. And why shouldn't they? But what are the broader consequences of Western-style consumerism taking hold in large developing countries?
