BULLY OF BENTONVILLE: How The High Cost Of Wal-Mart's...Low Prices Is Hurting America
by Bianco, Anthony
ISBN: 0385513569
Item Type: Hardback
Publisher: Doubleday
"A PROBING, DISTURBING EXAMINATION OF WAL-MART'S IMPACT ON AMERICA'S ECONOMY, CULTURE AND COMMUNITY LIFEIt's been front-page news that Wal-Mart's 'Everyday low prices' come at a tremendous cost to workers, suppliers, competitors and consumers. The definitive portrait of this juggernaut that's reshaping America, this book exposes the zealous, secretive, small-town sensibility that rules Wal-Mart, and chronicles its far-reaching consequences. Anthony Bianco shows how Wal-Mart has driven down retail wages throughout the country even as their substandard pay and meager healthcare policy have led to double-digit employee turnover: 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.This book brings the ugly truths about Wal-Mart into sharp focus."
