 he Basics The illusions of globalisation are at an end. The retail sector 
 is facing more changes in the next five years than it has in the last fift

 middle-class salary no longer stretches to a middle-class way of life\, th
 e "Age of Less" engenders new lifestyles: "trading down"\, "smart shopping
 "\, "luxury shame" and "stealth wealth" – covering needs rather than eng
 aging in consumer frenzy. The new luxury is in the basics. Retailing has t
 o reinvent itself – gone are the days of "more of the same". It's no lon
 ger about speed and size at any price – what counts is working together 
 throughout the entire value chain: cooperative societies\, partner network
 s\, pooled procurement. Is the future of retailing taking it back to its o
 rigins? Only far-sighted egoism that sees beyond the merely commercial can
  generate social wealth. Upright entrepreneurs of the Gottlieb Duttweiler
