    <body><![CDATA[I was really quite impressed by this book.  I was anticipating a fairly standard anti-everything screed, only to find that that Fishman was quite balanced about the effect that Wal-Mart has on all of our lives.  He looks at most sides of the equation: supply and production, demand and shopping, and everything in between.  For people eager to understand how one company has changed the way that we shop (even if one makes a point of never going to Wal-Mart, the effect that it's had on other retailers is quite significant), this book is a must!]]></body>
