Drawing on unprecedented interviews with former Wal-Mart executives and a wealth of staggering data (e.g., Americans spend $36 million an hour at Wal-Mart stores, and in 2004 its growth alone was bigger than the total revenue of 469 of the Fortune 500), \u003ci\u003eThe Wal-Mart Effect\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate look at a business that is dramatically reshaping our lives.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works--And Howit's Transforming the American Economy | Charles Fishman | Paperback | 9780143038788 | Used: Very Good | Economics 1620341","offer_id":50691949101314,"sku":"1620341","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71xTWd2-NyL.jpg?v=1791522541","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/wal-mart-effect-how-the-worlds-most-powerful-company-really-works-and-howits-transforming-the-american-economy","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
