We might have all figured out that large, bloodless corporations like Wal-Mart are hardly the feel-good fuzzy puppies and kittens their television commercials would have us believe, but in Anthony Bianco’s The Bully of Bentonville he gives us the damning reasons why. Bianco outlines how Wal-Mart, one of the largest companies in the world, and its policies have driven down retail wages and health care benefits for employees worldwide while forcing outsourcing work and American jobs being sent overseas, killed off local businesses across the nation, and controlled what consumers read, watch, and listen to in their very own homes with its stringent bans on “racy” material and santized versions of popular CDs and DVDs. These aren’t just accusations, they’re backed up by real interviews with real Wal-Mart employees, managers, executives, suppliers, customers, and competitors. It’s time to bring the truth of Wal-Mart into focus.
