Charles Fishman Knihy
Charles Fishman sa vo svojej novinárskej práci zameriava na preniknutie do organizácií a odhalenie ich fungovania. Jeho skúmanie vody pre knihu The Big Thirst ho zaviedlo na neobvyklé miesta, od odpadových nádrží po pramene minerálnych vôd, a dokonca mu umožnilo zažiť život v odľahlých komunitách. Fishman je známy svojim prenikavým pohľadom na fungovanie veľkých korporácií, ako ukázal vo svojom bestselleri The Wal-Mart Effect, ktorý sa stal kľúčovým dielom pre pochopenie vplyvu tejto spoločnosti. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje hlbokým vhľadom do tém, ktoré formujú náš svet, a dokáže čitateľa vtiahnuť do komplexných tém prostredníctvom živých opisov a investigatívneho prístupu.
Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest company--it is the largest company in the history of the world. It is estimated that the company's low prices save American consumers $10 billion a year--but the #1 employer in 37 states has never let a union in the door. Though 70% of Americans now live within a 15-minute drive of a Wal-Mart, we have not even begun to understand the true power of the company. We know about the lawsuits and the labour protests, but what we don't know is how profoundly the "Wal-Mart effect" is changing our America's economy, our workforce, our communities, and our environment. Journalist Fishman takes us on a behind-the-scenes investigative expedition, interviewing 25 high-level ex-executives and a host of Wal-Mart's suppliers, and journeying to the ports and factories where Wal-Mart's power is warping the very structure of the world's market.--From publisher description
