Wal-Mart: The Bully of Bentonville $11.99 The largest company in the world by far, Wal-Mart takes in revenues in excess of $280 billion, employs 1.4 million American workers, and controls a large share of the business done by almost every U.S. consumer-product company. More than 138 million shoppers visit one of its 5,300 stores each week. But Wal-Mart’s “everyday low prices” come at a tremendous cost to workers, suppliers, competitors, and consumers. The Bully of Bentonville exposes the zealous, secretive, small-town mentality that rules Wal-Mart and chronicles its far-reaching consequences. In a gripping, richly textured narrative, Anthony Bianco shows how Wal-Mart has driven down retail wages throughout the country, how their substandard pay and meager health-care policy and anti-union mentality have led to a large scales exploitation of workers, why their aggressive expansion inevitably puts locally owned stores out of business, and how their pricing policies have forced suppliers to outsource work and move thousands of jobs overseas. Based on interviews with Wal-Mart employees, managers, executives, competitors, suppliers, customers, and community leaders, The Bully of Bentonville brings the truths about Wal-Mart into sharp focus. |

The United States Of Wal-Mart $11.99 An irreverent hard-hitting examination of the world’s largest-and most reviled-corporation which reveals that while Wal-Mart’s dominance may be providing consumers with cheap goods and plentiful jobs it may also be breeding a culture of discontent. It employs one of every 115 American workers. If it were a nation-state it would be one of the world’s top twenty economies. With yearly sales of nearly $260 billion and an average way of $8 an hour Wal-Mart represents an unprecedented-and perhaps unstoppable-force in capitalism. And there have been few corporations that have evoked the same levels of reverence and ire. The United States of Wal-Mart is a hard-hitting examination of how Sam Walton’s empire has infiltrated not just the geography of America but also its consciousness. Peeling away layers of propaganda and politics investigative journalist John Dicker reveals an American (and increasingly a global) story that has no clear-cut villains or heroes-one that could be the confused complicated story of America itself. Pitched battles between economic progress and quality of life between the preservation of regional identity and national homogeneity and between low prices and the dignity of the American worker are beginning to coalesce into an all-out war to define our modern era. And Dicker argues Wal-Mart is winning. Revealing that the company’s business practices have been shaping American culture including the nation’s social political and industrial policy The United States of Wal-Mart provides fresh insight into a controversy that isn’t going away.An irreverent hard-hitting examination of the world’s largest-and most reviled-corporation which reveals that while Wal-Mart’s dominance may be providing consumers with cheap goods and plentiful jobs it may also be breeding a culture of discontent.
