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.
