Per Capita Retail Space in Various Countries
This is an interesting chart. I don’t think it means these other countries don’t have problems but I do think it means our problems are significantly larger than most. The chart could also be used as a springboard for social commentary on the consumerist nature of Americans.

This chart is for shopping mall space only. The United States has closer to 40 sf of retail space per person if smaller retail establishments are included.
