we would all be getting from A to B in a horse and cart
Of course you do realize that there are millennia of development and change to get to the horse and cart point, and of course development continues today.

What on earth has insecurity got to do with the development of the luxury car from the humble horse and cart?

Imo the car was developed from a need and not a want. There is a distinction, a great distinction. Again, imo, the car was developed from a need to get from a to b at a speed greater than 10mph, absolutely nothing to do with insecurity.

I have to admit that my original post was touching on the subject of want versus need, but it appears that you may have identified with the point by defending it where no defense was actually wanted, or needed. Insecurity?

LOL that is so funny, the article was about people buying luxury items because of insecurity was it not?
