Economics is a intricate yet boring and very multi-faceted topic.
If you stop the average American who stopped learning about Economics after High School, ( and id argue many that took Econ in college cuz they had to, but never went into an "economics-type" job )
the cause and effect simply cannot be explained in a way that 80-90% of average Americans can really grasp or WANT to spend time grasping. Because it takes time to understand the different effects that supply has, demand has, production has, wages has etc etc on the overall larger economic picture.
So its easy to find something that the 80% or so WILL understand.
Wanna stop corporate greed? stop buying their product. Americans have a purchasing problem. MY wife and kids have a purchasing problem that i contend with weekly. Amazon. Sephora, Ulta - how much @#$@#$# make up do you need?
im going off on a tangent here, but implore those with kids ( especially girls ) to watch Brandy Hellville/Fast Fashion on Netflix. I had NO IDEA this was a "thing" but it helped me understand how my 15 yr old spends $80 at a store on 2 shirts ( or skirts or whatever ) and a week later says " this is the in thing now" and spends another $50. ( these companies are using social media to speed up the fashion cycle, by the time they get the original order, that "fashion" is obsolete - no kidding )
Its all about how Brandy Melville operated in the fashion space. IT will blow your mind over how much control they had over young girls/women.
