Yet as amusing as this good old American election drama is, there is something sinister and insidious lurking beneath Uncle Sam??s contented conservative front. It is the same unsettling force belying the pleasant satisfaction of America’s ever sprawling suburbs.

...practices of one company to be able to claim economic ramifications applicable to the whole country, but McKinsey shows that to be precisely the case with Wal-Mart. From its founding in Bentonville in 1962 to today’s 1600 stores, 1000 supercenters, 1000 international stores and 500 Sam??s Clubs, Wal-Mart has gotten to the point where it is a macroeconomic force in the countries in which it operates...
