Is Wal-mart Good for America?
What is your opinion of Wal-mart? FRONTLINE looks at all sides of this issue in this PBS program. The program is online and contains text and streaming video. I have yet to watch the entire video, but it does look really interesting. The program can be accessed by visiting http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/.
A description of the program from the PBS website:
FRONTLINE explores the relationship between U.S. job losses and the American consumer’s insatiable desire for bargains in “Is Wal-Mart Good for America?” Through interviews with retail executives, product manufacturers, economists, and trade experts, correspondent Hedrick Smith examines the growing controversy over the Wal-Mart way of doing business and asks whether a single retail giant has changed the American economy.
