I'm probably thinking too much into it, but the slum thing, while certainly with good intentions, could easily go wrong if in the wrong hands. Like, sweatshop levels of wrong. But maybe that's a too realistic way of thinking.

It could certainly go wrong depending on the conditions, since working in a sweatshop is still strictly better than having no wage at all. Couple that with overall impoverishment of the lower classes, rural exodus, and a focus on exports, you got a recipe for a society that is highly productive but miserable.

A few elements that alleviate it are the minimum wage, the product being a luxury and Rishe's focus on marketing it across social classes. There's a limit on how abusive someone could get in her position, and even then it would be counter-productive, since when you're short of cash the first thing that you stop consuming are luxuries.
