"Malls are the central institution of our modern consumer culture."

". The Mall of America has more of everything for shopping to excess, 4.2 million square feet of department sto res, specialty shops, fast food spots, theme park rides for the kids, miniature golf, nightclubs, 14 movie screens, and a 75 seat wedding chapel. Least you think it impossible that anyone would get married in a mall, promotional literature for the "Chapel of Love" proclaims that over 300 ceremonies were performed there in its first two years. " [source]

Although the roots of consumerism go back to the period between 1880 and 1920, when industrialization pulled labor off the farm into the factory, department stores were invented, and advertising emerged. Today's consumerism at malls is as far ahead of those modest origins as the internet is ahead of newspapers. (For further reading see: Simon J. Bronner, edited, Consuming Visions: Accumulation and Display of Goods in America, 1880-1920, New York, 1989; and William Leach, Land Of Desire: Merchants, Power, and the Rise of a New American Culture, New York, 1993.)
