You are absolutely right. Food has become much cheaper in developed countries precisely because of the competition in producing and supplying it. And when I say that it has become cheaper, I am referring to a time horizon of 100 years, and if we go further back we will see that it is much cheaper in relation to the income of the workers, where in ancient times everything they earned was spent on food. I say this because with inflation prices have been rising for a couple of years now, but if we look further back we see how much food prices have fallen for working families who, apart from eating, could afford other consumer goods such as washing machines or cars, apart from services such as going on holiday and things like that.
Do you really think that this fact can reassure poor workers?You tell him that your grandfather spent his money only on food and did not have his own home. And now you should be proud that you live in such a good time, that you have your own home and car and can go on vacation sometimes.
