Walmart.com stocks anti-Wal-Mart book
How many readers of Going Local: Creating Self-Reliant Communities in a Global Age, by Michael H. Shuman, would buy the book from Wal-Mart?
Here’s a blurb from the publisher, spotted on Wal-Mart’s web site:
Going Local shows how some cities and towns are fighting back. Refusing to be overcome by Wal-Marts and layoffs, they are taking over abandoned factories, switching to local produce and manufactured goods, and pushing banks to loan money to local citizens. Shuman details how dozens of communities are recapturing their own economies with these new strategies, investing not in outsiders but in locally owned businesses.
