We look at the real estate, which is about all the retailer really has left. And in our global economy, almost everything is connected in some circuitous way. We're exploring that fact in a series we're doing with the BBC called Six Routes to Richesa look at the challenges and opportunities people face as they earn a living. Today, a story that starts with a riddle. What connects the following things: a $500 dollar pair of sunglasses for sale at a boutique in China, an economic slump in Croatia, and a pair of white inspection gloves in Berlin?
