Today, I want to see through the history of consumption evolution, to see whether Alibaba or Jingdong business providers can collapse all physical retail formats, and also want to see what the future retail competition is.

Throughout history, the evolution of human beings and the evolution of society are driven by philosophy and science and technology. Philosophy cares about the system, that is, the form of organization, and science and technology care about power, that is, productivity. The growth of western philosophy and industrial revolution has promoted the system and productivity. Consumption is the product of these two historical driving forces. Then Keynes doctrine changed consumption from the product of history to the cause of promoting history, and the consumer society opened up. This is his greatness.

So history has driven consumption, and now consumption is pushing history. One of the most basic ways to study consumption is to study the history of consumption. Look at how the system and science and technology change consumption, and focus on the direction and logic of these changes.
