Reader Buck Hicks sends in a link to How Walmart Is Destroying America And The World: And What You Can Do About It by Bill Quinn, for sale on walmart.com. The abstract:
Since Wal-Mart opened two superstores thirteen miles from Grand Saline, Texas, half of the retail businesses in Bill Quinn's once-thriving hometown have closed. But dismantling the American dream wasn't enough for this retail Goliath, and now Wal-Mart is aiming for world domination. If you've ever wanted to fight for the little guy, now's the time -- and this feisty Texas grandpa will show you how.The book has a delivery date of 4/28/05...
UPDATE: They've taken the page down at walmart.com, but lucky for you all, I anticipated their reaction and created an Adobe PDF copy of the webpage earlier today!
Does this prove that somebody at WM corporate reads this blog???

I don't know any other system prepared to give it's opponents so much room, even it it could lead to it's own destruction (Schumpeter and all that). The author of the anti-capitalist book would of course profit handily, if Wal-Mart was prepared to sell it. I just hope that Walmart.com removed the page because they believe that the book won't sell and won't return a profit.
