Are Luxury Brands Immoral? Why Shaming Wealth WON'T Solve Poverty & How Value Is Really Created
Should you feel guilty for owning a Rolex while others can’t afford to eat?
As Chinese manufacturers flood global markets and luxury brands face backlash in the US-China culture war, the internet is asking: Is luxury unethical—or just misunderstood?
In this business lesson, I break down the real economics behind luxury, why having more doesn’t mean others have less, and how guilt-driven activism misses the point. From TikTok outrage to Vogue headlines, it’s time to separate emotion from economics.
Luxury isn’t the enemy. Poverty is. And blaming success never built a better world.
