Amish que me importa

De Dolores. El camino al progreso pasa por el estilo de vida amish.

En medio de la crisis financiera, muchos en EEUU redescubren el ludismo. Y encima creen que se trata de una originalidad absoluta:

Americans have been hearing for months now about the devastating problems facing U.S. financial institutions. But in at least one corner of the country, the banking system is doing just fine.

In the Old Order Amish community of Lancaster County, Penn., most people use credit only when they buy a farm. They live within their means, and borrow from people who expect to get paid back. For many Amish here, their first major piece of property is a horse and buggy.
