Wal-Marts' ubiquity presents a potential problem for policymakers
confronting local issues (zoning, infrastructure, taxation, etc.)
which influence the location of new stores. Despite a proliferation
of Wal-Mart related writing, the consensus among researchers
writing peer review work is far less conclusive than either the
critics or advocates of the retailer contend. This makes
disentangling the effect of Wal-Mart on local economies increasing
difficult. While there have been other books on Wal-Mart, none has
provided scholarly economic analysis of the impact of this retail
giant. The Local Economic Impact of Wal-Mart is the first to fill
this gap with a critical review of the existing literature; it also
provides significant empirical evidence which highlights important
questions. This book will be a critical addition for all
collections in Business, Economics, Political Science, and
Sociology. "The author is interested in facts. He asks the right
questions and provides the answers that thorough research suggests.
He surveys the weight of evidence and analysis in the existing
literature, and adds some informed insights of his own. This is
what good economists are supposed to do. There are no wild claims
or hidden agendas here. This book is a triumph of empiricism over
mysticism." - Lawrence W. Reed, President, Mackinac Center for
Public Policy, Midland, Michigan
