Up Against the WalMart

I think I’ve been in a WalMart store twice in my life, though I do belong to a Sam’s Club so I’m in that establishment a bit more frequently.  I think Sam’s Club meat butchers buy some fine meats.

WalMart seems to either rise ire, jealousy or dismay, all of which are feelings, in individuals which in turn raise protests and or laws meant to impede WalMart’s progress.  A classic case of a minority bunch wielding sticks to enforce their viewpoint rather than voting with their dollars by either shopping, or not shopping, at the local WalMart.

The Economist has a interesting piece available to read titled “How big can it grow?," which delves into the sustainability of WalMart’s growth.

Here’s The New York Times’ treatment of WalMart. The piece is titled “Wal-Mart, a Nation Unto Itself." The title to the piece provides you with a pretty good idea of what NYT thinks of WalMart’s success.
