North Korea Consumer Culture
In this Sunday, Oct. 9, 2011 photo, North Korean music cassette tapes are displayed for sale at Pyongyang Department Store No. 1 in downtown Pyongyang, North Korea. A new culture of commerce is springing up, with China as its inspiration and source. The new consumerism is part of a campaign launched three years ago to build up the economy, and so the image of new leader Kim Jong Un. (AP Photo/David Guttenfelder)
