Dead Malls And Abandoned Retail Spaces Are My New Obsession
It’s no secret that ever since the 2000s, several retail chain stores have experienced financial setbacks. These hardships only became worse after the financial crisis of 2008 and the rise of online shopping thanks to Amazon.

¿Qué es el Retrocapitalismo?
Por Cristian Mancilla Intuitivamente, ubico mi primera experiencia retrocapitalista en el tiempo cuando descubrí la música de ocho bits (chiptune). No recuerdo cómo, encontré el álbum The 8 Bits of Christmas, con temas aportados por un grupo de colaboradores bajo el nombre de «The 8 Bit People».

What left and right alike get wrong about ‘late’ capitalism
What if American capitalism isn’t broken, rigged, or in dire need of saving? It’s a notion completely foreign to contemporary American politics.
