Скачать или смотреть Consumerism and Economic Systems: Capitalism, Socialism, and the Survival Paradox

This video explores the vital relationship between consumerism and economic systems, focusing on capitalism and socialism from a scientific and analytical perspective.
Household consumption is examined as the primary engine of economic growth, supported by data from institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

In capitalist systems, consumerism acts as the fuel of the economy—its decline can trigger short-term recessions or force structural shifts toward models like the circular economy.
In contrast, historical socialist systems show that consumption limits often led to black markets, inefficiencies, and distribution failures.

Beyond economics, this analysis highlights how consumption is deeply connected to human identity, psychology, and social signaling.
The conclusion is clear: any economic system seeking to survive with reduced consumerism must rely on policy innovation and cultural transformation, not denial of human behavior
