Commentary

For years now, luxury goods have thrived. It’s not surprising. There has been relative peace, seeming prosperity for the few, and a “Hunger Games” sense of “Let them eat cake” alive in the world. You see it in the lavish and widely advertised events of the Met Gala or the World Economic Forum in Davos. The well-to-do have been living it up with very conspicuous consumption.
