Economic Shifts and Cultural Trends

This chapter examines the fluctuating impacts of tariffs on luxury goods and pharmaceuticals, particularly in relation to Swiss firms and market dynamics. It also discusses the UK Supreme Court's ruling on car finance, the strategic shift of French factories to military production, and the rise of 'fake weddings' in India as a trendy alternative to traditional ceremonies. Through these diverse topics, the chapter highlights how socio-economic changes shape industries and cultural practices in response to evolving conditions.
