Retail is an economic trade sector wherein people buy and sell various goods or services. You may commonly see it in the form of stores, online shopping or even door-to-door salespeople. For many, it is their bread and butter, while for others it is the bane of their existence. After Dexterra voters granted control of the economy to consumers under the framework of free market eco-socialism, the Dexter retail sector managed to flourish within a fiscal structure handcrafted to balance consumer rights with business goals, labor rights with ethical management and worker's wages with rewarding proportionality - each in ways that are one hundred percent reliant on clean energy. Like many multiversal nations, Dexter shoppers are now out and about bagging sweet retail therapy in shopping malls, mom and pop shops, holes-in-the-wall or digital markets, while entrepreneurs are salivating at the newest storefront opportunities, white markets and untapped industries.
