Shopping malls.The beating heart of capitalism.In the days before online shopping,you visited them to buy new shoes,video games,a new sofa,or just to hit the food court.If you’ve ever seen the Kevin Smith film Mallrats,you’ll know that some people also visited them to simply hangout.With the rise of Taobao and JD.com in China,though,malls have had to compete with online retailers selling products at reasonable prices with cheap home delivery.As a result,some malls have rolled out arcades,kids play areas,cinemas and even zoos to bring in much needed foot traffic.
