Interesting observations by  Josep Tàpies in El Pais when he describes the reasons why there is almost no unemployment among chinese population in Madrid.

Tàpies, who is the Director of Family Businesses department at IESE says that in  terms of competitivity, culture and values deffended and promoted by chinese enterpreneurs they are not different to many generations of Spanish business men who created big emporiums through effort, work and long-term vision.  

According to Pin, a successful chinese enterpreneur in Spain, the difference between the Spanish and the Chinese culture of work is that among Chinese, current generation wants to work more than their parents in order to achieve more welfare than them and between Spanish, people just want to live better than their parents.

An occidental disease possibly?
