Business, society, and the "wal-mart effect"
Critiques Charles Fishman’s The Wal-Mart Effect, arguing that Wal-Mart’s societal benefits—such as significant consumer savings ($30–$150 billion annually)—far outweigh its costs (e.g., job displacement, low wages). While acknowledging distributional concerns (e.g., poverty-level wages), the author emphasizes Wal-Mart’s efficiency gains and its disproportionate benefits for low-income consumers. The article also dismisses fears of Wal-Mart’s monopolistic power, citing historical parallels (e.g., anti-chain-store backlash in the 1920s) and current market constraints (e.g., declining growth rates). Ultimately, it calls for Wal-Mart to balance its low-price mission with greater transparency and social responsibility to mitigate criticism and align with societal expectations.
