The demise of the high street retailer, and our falling into the hands of globalised internet suppliers like Amazon, and very soon food as well, is more a social decision than economic.

People individually buy what is available where it is available, and are not making a social decision.

The survival of the retail shop and department store, is part and parcel of whether our society is run from the grass roots, or imposed from above.
