Capitalism Alive and Well

Ate dinner last night in the biggest mall I've ever seen, the Shanghai Super Brand Mall. 8 stories high, goes for blocks, hundreds of shops and dozens of restaurants, from KFC to fine dining. I think this mall is 'western themed', which means that most of the stores have English names which in many cases are a slight alteration of an American brand. For example 'Men's Collection' in the exact font and color as 'Men's Warehouse'. We've seen this elsewhere, as in 'Donut King' with the font and colors of Dunkin Donuts and the crown/logo of burger king.
