Power Windows is all about 'manifestations of power' (atom bombs, endurance in marathons, nationalism/nations etc).
In this case, the song is about the 'push and pull' created by money. It makes opportunities and takes them away. For better or worse, money is one of the primary expressions of power in the world.
The song doesn't have to be saying anything specific about 1980s materialism or anybody's country - it's telling you "what money is like" no matter who you are or where you live.
