The activities of WalMart and other bigbox retailers have become rallying cries for both sides of the political aisle. This book is aimed at those involved in debates over WalMart's impact on worker wages, labor issues, and healthinsurance and landuse policies. The WalMart Revolution provides useful facts about the company, the U.S. retail industry, labor economics, healthcare policy, and landuse realities in America today. Economist Richard Vedder and publicprivate partnerships expert Wendell Cox painstakingly analyze available evidence before concluding that the economic transformation in American retailing which is personified by WalMart has largely been good for Americans and the economy. WalMart's basic business strategies have had a profoundly positive impact on America's productivity, wages, consumer prices, and other key economic variables. Though the book was written without any cooperation from WalMart, Vedder and Cox address several criticisms often lobbed at the company and demolish them onebyone: _ WalMart workers are paid fairlygiven their level of skills and experience, and compared to other retail firms, WalMart employees do well _ WalMart's fringe benefits_healthcare coverage, retirement benefits, and more_are similar to those of other retail firms, and very few WalMart workers go without health insurance _ Big boxes mean big business: communities with new WalMart stores typically enjoy increased employment and incomes after the store opens _ WalMart benefits the poor, in particular, in the form of lower prices and new job opportunities _ Attempts to keep WalMart out of communities through zoning restrictions, mandatory health insurance, or special high minimum wages hurt citizens, especially those with lower incomes
