I remember well the end of the 1980s in the USSR. It was a sad time, as far as the consumption of goods by our people was concerned, there was a very small selection in the shops. There were Western goods at crazy prices in the markets. And there was some admiration for the West (among young people). There was a dream that our people would live in the future, like in Europe, in abundance.
Years have passed, the shops have a huge selection and abundance of goods. Prices for products are often 2-3-4 times lower than in Europe. But people still cannot afford to buy everything they want.

The world seems to be going backwards at the moment, doesn't it? Do you see the parables of centralisation mirrored in your experience?
I see that the concentration of capital is increasing in a small group of people and the majority does not become richer. This is probably capitalism.
