Living in America

Ellis Island, 1909.

As you probably remember, The Godfather II starts with the early day of young Vito Corleone in Sicily and his move to America. It was the year 1909 and like him, thousands of Europeans moved to the United States of America seeking for the american dream.

The American Dream, as they like to call it, is the reflection of a capitalist society, where everybody, no matter where you come from, can become rich. But the dream is over. We are now in the XXI century and as it happened in all the previous changes of century, the leading empire declines and a new one arises. It's time for China.

How long are they going to try to sell us the idea of the American Dream? Shall we start to think about the Chinese dream?
