Capitalism gone mad!

This building in Wenceslas Square (known locally as Vaclavske nam) is one of the most famous buildings in the Czech Republic. Not only are there many images of the Czech civilians facing up to Communist tanks in front of this building in the square - with just candles and flowers between them and the tanks - and further images of and memorials to the two students who set fire to themselves n the 1960s to protest communism - - the balcony you see is where Vaclav Havel stood and announced the downfall of Communism to cheering crowds shortly before he became the inaugral President of the Czech Repubilic. And now it's a Marks and Spencer Store!
