The World’s Largest Yachts

Geoff Riley

Here is a slideshow showcasing (?) some of the world’s largest and most expensive yachts in 2010. It might be good for an image or two when teaching conspicuous consumption and the waste of status races and the arguments for a consumption tax. I would quite like to see a similar slideshow of the world’s largest and most expensive barbecues!
