Theory of Reverse Prosperity Explains Fashion's Odd Aims
Mike Royko reports on a provocative theory that society measures success by appearance rather than wealth. He cites Dr I M Kookie noting how the upper middle class idolizes worn, torn clothing while the working class seeks new garments, creating a paradox where the rich look poor and the poor strive for prosperity. The piece satirically questions cultural icons, MTV, and fashion's status signals, labeling the view feebleminded or insightful depending on lens.
