Viac o knihe

The book examines the rise of large American retailers like Walmart and Amazon, highlighting how they thrived in a regulatory environment that favored their growth. It traces the evolution of retail capitalism from the late nineteenth century, illustrating how these companies formed powerful political coalitions to resist regulation. By comparing the U.S. experience with that of retailers in the UK, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, it reveals how American firms leveraged judicial leniency and government support to dominate the market, often at the expense of suppliers and workers.
