Regulation

Response to claim that consumers are to blame for building collapses in Bangladesh so more regulation is needed.

"The WSJ goes so far as to single out a shopper at a Zaro store in Dallas who purchases more "$16 bejeweled T-shirts and $10 ruffled tops" than she should have (Zimmerman and Shah. 2013). Nor are low prices a good thing in this case as they usually are: "Americans’ appetite for cheap clothes is one of the strongest of the economic forces that led to a boom in Bangladesh, with the resulting race to add manufacturing capacity setting the stage for the series of horrific accidents. U.S. consumers have become accustomed to spending relatively little on clothing compared with other items – and getting a lot for their money" (Zimmerman and Shah. 2013)."

Shame on consumers.
