Deploying computer-age technology, Reagan-era politics, and Protestant evangelism, Sam Walton&#8217;s firm became a byword for cheap goods and low-paid workers, famed for the ruthless efficiency of its global network of stores and factories. But the revolution has gone further: Sam&#8217;s prot\u00e9g\u00e9s have created a new economic order which puts thousands of manufacturers, indeed whole regions, in thrall to a retail royalty. Like the Pennsylvania Railroad and General Motors in their heyday, Wal-Mart sets the commercial model for a huge swath of the global economy. <\/p>\n<p>In this lively, probing investigation, historian Nelson Lichtenstein deepens and expands our knowledge of the merchandising giant. He shows that Wal-Mart&#8217;s rise was closely linked to the cultural and religious values of Bible Belt America as well as to the imperial politics, deregulatory economics, and laissez-faire globalization of Ronald Reagan and his heirs. He explains how the company&#8217;s success has transformed American politics, and he anticipates a day of reckoning, when challenges to the Wal-Mart way, at home and abroad, are likely to change the far-flung empire. <\/p>\n<p>Insightful, original, and steeped in the culture of retail life, The Retail Revolution draws on first hand reporting from coastal China to rural Arkansas to give a fresh and necessary understanding of the phenomenon that has transformed international commerce.<\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B002LA09YO <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Metropolitan Books; First Edition, With a New Afterword (July 21, 2009) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 July 21, 2009 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 707 KB <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Not Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 434 pages <br \/> Page numbers source ISBN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 0312429681 <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The definitive account of how a small Ozarks company upended the world of business and what that change means Wal-Mart, the world&#8217;s largest company, roared out of the rural South to change the way business is done.
