The Argument that can win it all, but matters little

Yes, we know, we are meagre souls, fighting against all the great forces of history. We are sometimes led to believe that change takes place at levels higher than us. But,remarkably,we can write. And, it is in that vein that I begin to describe the most substantial argument that I feel defines our generation- the argument of the sceptic! It merely consists of deflating the logic of our existence. Let me pose examples. Within the context of my country. India. The argument against the foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail. Let us look at the sceptical argument against it. It merely consists of the following: Now, if foreign retailers come in, they will envelope the scope of sale within the existing indigenous retail sector, but, furthermore, they define the nature of products we buy. Meaning. I can oppose FDI in retail as such. in the sceptical terms. retail as such is a phenomenon that does not acknowledge choice, but, instead, chooses to perpetrate a fictitious assembly of products that are neither useful nor progressive, hence, the scope of my satisfaction does not acknowledge their existence. The sceptic argues that we must oppose FDI in retail not because it allows private corporations in enhancing their monopoly over consumer goods in a particular goods, in a country, but, instead, because, it allows for the replication of consumption at a mass scale that isolates the individuality of the concerned consumer. Two problem with this, first, how does one distinguish the isolation of the individuality vis-a-vis the product, second, how does one define the nature of exploitation that it seeks to establish. The crux of exploitation is with the consumer who believes in plural production realms, as opposed to homogeneous realms of production.
