Answer:

The former Soviet Union is influenced by the consumer culture of the West.

Explanation:

The former Soviet Union was a communist country that had a command economy. This type of economy meant that the economy is closed to the world and people had no choice when it came to consumption, but only what the government decided they will consume. With the fall of the Soviet Union, this changed, at least in most parts.

Most of the countries that emerged from the Soviet Union have transformed or are still transitioning toward open market economies. This opened up the economies which resulted in a lot of foreign investments, fascilities, and brands coming to these markets. Being totally restricted until then, when people suddenly had an opportunity to choose what they want to buy and consume, they jumped on it. Very soon a consumer culture, typical for the West has developed. This can not be said about the likes of Belarus, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan though, as they are still closed to the world.

Characteristically, Command Economies are bad when it comes to a person interested in making a profit; this is because they typically center on economic equality and do not have economic efficiency. Speaking in general, in a command economy, the allocation of resources is done by a Central Planning Committee, and this system usually leads to quite a number of shortages and/or surpluses in products since the demand/supply can be impulsive.<span> On the other hand, Market Economies are centered on profit-making and Economic Efficiency.</span>

Essentially, how well resources are distributed among the public will determine how well people will be rewarded. Let’s take for instance, a parking lot like downtown; characteristically, a market economy will likely focus on how to place as many cars as possible in the lot and how to use the space to its full capacity, while a Command will most likely try to apportion the space so that (just for example) 3 small, 3 medium and 3 large vehicles are parked (economic equality).

<span>
<span>Finally, with a market economy, there is likely to to be less shortages and less surpluses, since it works with the Law of Supply and Demand in which an equilibrium price will be automatically established through buying and selling.</span></span>
