Anything doesn't work anymore because everything is owned by megacorps/super-rich/private-equity/govt. The focus on rent-seeking via monopoly/oligopoly and regulatory capture. Consumers (of products and services) (1) mostly have no alternatives, or choose between equally bad/worse (2) are not discerning of quality. (3) bombarded with ads/marketing and algorithms to buy, buy, buy! (4) status seeking, look! i bought shiny new thing, here's a pic on my instagram to prove it!
