Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
Wal-Mart is the biggest company on earth, ever. It's expanding across the globe from Brazil to Eastern Europe to the UK in the form of Asda. The author has interviewed high-level ex-executives, travelled among suppliers and uncovered the places where its influence is felt on fields and forests. Exploring every aspect of this consumer monolith, he shows that its silent power is now so great it can determine everything from the design of deodorant available in the US to what the lives of farm-raised chickens will be like and the hours Chinese bicycle-makers must work. Now Wal-Mart is almost incapable of being challenged, what will the long-term impact of these vast concrete stores be on our towns and cities, on wages and working conditions, on smaller shops, the idea of choice and on our world? With index.
