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 wage 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.
'Aside from some pointless and tiresome lapses into prison-chic posturing Dicker conveys a wealth of information in a lucid and light-handed style.' - PW
