内容简介 Book Description
The definitive portrait of the juggernaut that is reshaping America, The Bully of Bentonville exposes the zealous, secretive, small-town mentality ruling Wal-Mart and chronicles its far reaching consequences. In a richly textured narrative, Anthony Bianco shows how Wal-Mat has driven down retail wages throughout the country, even as its substandard pay scale and meager health-care policy have led to double-digit employee turnover; how its aggressive expansion inevitably puts locally owned stores out of business; and how its pricing policies have forced suppliers to outsource work and move thousands of jobs overseas. Its power even influences what Americans can read, watch, and listen to; in the name of protecting its customers, Wal-Mart bans "racy" magazines and insists on sanitized versions of popular DVDs and CDs.

Based on interviews with Wal-Mart employees, managers, executives, competitors, suppliers, customers, and community leaders, The Bully of Bentonville illuminates the story behind the headlines and brings the facts about Wal-Mart into sharp focus.

编辑推荐 “[The Bully of Bentonville]…is filled with direct quotations from current and former Wal-Mart employees, paraphrased anecdotes from Wal-Mart lore, Sam Walton legends, data from government documents and studies from academic researchers such as Basker. Not a single page…is boring, whether the reader is a Wal-Mart lover, Wal-Mart hater, or a conflicted in-between sometimes shopper.” —The Kansas City Star

“In The Bully of Bentonville Bianco produces the most penetrating examination of Wal-Mart’s business practices and their ripple effects in American society that has been published since Wal-Mart watching became a serious pursuit of the business press and academia.” — The Star Telegram
