    India, Brazil and Argentina all pretty much throw this idea out the window. They’re low GDP/income countries where the average person is trying to scrape by and just afford food. Those countries have all turned to right wing populism as well (Brazil is on my to watch list as I don’t believe we’ve seen the last of Bolsanaro or his political friends). It’s not really an advertising/consumerism thing.
