Concerning The Necessity Of Affluence: Sustainable Luxury
What is Luxury? Excessive individualism is a decisive factor when attempting to define luxury.

It took about a year, but the social media backlash eventually came for Talley, and it has been fierce. It began with “AfricaDigest,” a Twitter page of a publication called “Africland post,”...
