I loved the reference to the banana leaf - if you are lucky then, as you grow older and wiser, you will see the truth in this.
I picked-up on that too, but I didn't respond as I had the television man installing my satellite channels on my new 55" Loewe television. Once you're in the 55" television experience and above, you're in the status lux-symbol zone and yet, it does have it's real advantages in recreating the cinema experience in your own home with Ultra combined with HD, Bluray and even normal DVD.
The book studied China, but what about India?
An interesting study is the replication/transportation of the caste system to the West.

I have just finished an essay on luxury that I will be posting imminently.
P.S. I don't like bananas.
