intersections: Walmart's Ongoing Saga

Walmart's Ongoing Saga

There was another article about Wal-mart in the New York Times today. You can read it here. I also received a free copy of a new book by Anthony Bianco entitled, The Bully of Bentonville: How the High Cost of Wal-Mart's Everyday Low Prices is Hurting America. I haven't read it and probably won't get to anytime soon, but it is just one more indication that this issue is getting the attention it needs. Often these books are one-sided and a bit over simplified. The author has been a senior writer for Business Week for 20 years, so he's not just an angry muckraker.

If anyone gets the chance to read it, please let me know what you think.

QUOTE

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
