    In poor countries material goods like cars, fine clothing, bling are considered status symbols.

    In rich first world countries like Norway being fit and well trained is becoming a status symbol. When material goods are no longer scarcity goods and do not impress anyone people seek other dimensions in which they compete.

    American status symbol is belonging to a minority, it's the only way to have some value as a person
