A “certain culture” is an euphemism for bad economy, I assume?

When I was a kid the general setup seemed to be the poorer the kid the more toys and higher weekly allowance it had. To compensate I guess.

Obviously not very poor but relatively poor.

It can also be argued that when a culture seeks escapism it's because things are bad.

In other words, there's no correlation.
