According to the author "there's no doubt that the Colombian government's fight against terror, combined with its promotion of free markets and foreign investments, is paying off - not only for the rich, but for the majority of people. Everywhere you look, you see signs of a growing middle class. New apartment buildings sprout up in neighborhoods of all but the lowest socioeconomic categories, new shopping malls are being built and filled, and more and more car dealers open up."
"The shopping malls, these temples of consumerism, are perhaps the most fascinating of these telltale signs of progress. Medellin now has several that not only rival, but surpass, those you'll find in large American and European cities. "
"The Centro Commercial Santafé, which opened its doors in the spring of 2010, has floors and walls of polished pink stone, and its gigantic glass roof slides open, whenever the climatic conditions turn favorable. As soon as it starts raining, it automatically closes again."

"The stores offer, among other things, luxury watches and European brand clothes. Another mall in Medellin, El Tesoro, is built around an amusement park, complete with a roller coaster."

" Even in Cartagena, where the ranks of the ridiculously wealthy are considerably thinner, one sees all the signs of an improving economy. Recently, both Mercedes and BMW established new stores here, and high-end shopping malls are popping up everywhere you lay your eyes. "
