Durable products are still available, but good luck affording them. A decent cabinet made of decent wood will cost you thousands. Instead people are forced to buy Ikea goods and replace them every 5 years.
The same goes with clothes. Durable high quality clothes are still available, but they are extremely expensive. Instead people buy 20 dollar t-shirts that fall apart after a year.
Is this an issue of people wanting low quality goods, or does it have more to do with a reduction in buying power?
