People’s approach to shopping has considerably varied in recent years, especially in prosperous countries. In fact, while in the past it was considered just as a customary, daily necessity, it has nowadays achieved a hobby status. In the author’s opinion, such a trend has different positive aspects and ought to be encouraged.
Firstly, one should be aware that consumerism is the founding pillar of our free-market and capitalistic economy. Indeed, spending their money in buying specified goods as well as choosing one product instead of another, customers feed competition among companies, contributing significantly to improve standard qualities and decrease average prices of available wares. Although some might argue that actually the real power of manipulating markets is held by firms which may create trusts to control trades and production costs, consumers till possess a decisive role in accepting or refusing such a financial system.
Moreover, throughout shopping, relevant amount of money earned by workers as salaries and wages become revenues for shop owners, actively determining an increase in nations’ GDPs and creating new work opportunities, which eventually result in an overall improvement of wealth and prosperity. This is the basis of economic development and applies both to financial superpowers, such as US or Germany, and to emerging countries like India or china, where, for instance, one of the largest luxury market of the world currently flourishes.
To sum up, I utterly believe that strongpoints of free and advertised shopping , among which the possibility of influencing productive systems and markets as well as increasing global welfare are certainly worth the mention, make it a beneficial feature of modern times.
