More on Wal-Mart



Not that Wal-Mart needs more publicity (bad publicity is good publicity, right?) but The Nation has a lot to say about Wal-Mart making money off of the poor, and having a hand in creating even greater poverty for their own customers.

I'm a little surprise that Wal-Mart didn't do well over the holidays. The lines people described the day after Thanksgiving sounded outrageous.

Worldwide, people continue to watch Wal-Mart warily. The BBC recently aired a segment on Wal-Mart, part of its "Outrageous Fortunes" series, profiling Wal-Mart's profit strategy. And, finally, Wal-Mart has moved into Mexico though it has long been in Brazil.
