All the World's a Mall

Exploring the phenomenon of mega-malls across five global cities, this book offers a unique perspective on consumer culture and globalization. Swiss journalist Rinny Gremaud shares her experiences in Edmonton, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, and Casablanca, where these expansive shopping complexes serve as both entertainment hubs and social spaces. Through engaging conversations with shoppers and workers, she reflects on the impact of these commercial giants, creating a vivid narrative that blends humor, insight, and a critique of modern consumerism.
