This book shows us how Wal-Mart is the leader... in driving the costs down. How do we save all that money...easy Wal-Mart and other companies receive their goods from overseas sweatshops. This book tells about the different areas that are creating our job decline and how the truth behind the savings--isn't a savings after all. A great read for anyone who is a Labor Studies student or teacher and great for union members world-wide. This book is a modern day look at the fight for fair wages and job creation. Jobs are leaving the country and we need to find out the reason why and what we need to focus on to keep our jobs at home.
I had to read it for a class, and although it did bring up some... interesting facts about Walmart I find it unnecessarly long and boring. I found times i was wishing for a chapter to end because enough examples were given and the point was already examined more then once. The ending was the best part because I felt that all that misury that I had to go through was over. No effence to the author but this book is perfect for the garbage but it is a necessary reading for my class. That just means that my teacher likes it, and who said I need to agree?!
Excellent book for all those Wal Mart haters. Get over ...it! Wal Mart has outmaneuvered its competition. No one bitched when GM had a corner on the car market. What was different about them? Nothing! The same goes for any major coproration. There is nothing wrong with being a monopoly. Those who have no concept about capitalism are quick to pounce on Wally World. The blame belongs in the US Congress. A group of whores not found anywhere in the world. Instead of giving the money to the people, they chose to give it to the very leeches that started it all. At least Wal Mart gives back to the people.
