Crowded Transportation; The Chinese Workers Who Make the Toys

This photo is from German artist and photographer Michael Wolf, who I discovered via Tyler Cowen. It’s part of a series of photos of people crammed into crowded Tokyo subway trains. Also incredible is Wolf’s installation “The Real Toy Story,” which consists of 20,000 toys made in China and bought in California that Wolf attached to a wall with photos of the workers who made the toys. Really, all the photos in his portfolio are terrific.
