We live in a culture of choice. But, in an age of corporate
dominance, our freedom to choose has taken on new meaning. Upset
with your local big box store? Object to unfair hiring practices at
your neighbourhood fast food restaurant? Want to protest the
opening of that new multinational coffeeshop? Vote with your feet
What if it's not that simple?
In "No One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart," Tom Slee unpacks the
implications of our fervent belief in the power of choice. Pointing
out that individual choice has become the lynchpin of a
neoconservative corporate ideology he calls MarketThink, he urges
us to re-examine our assumptions . Slee makes use of game theory to
argue that individual choice is not inherently bad. Nor is it the
societal fix-all that our corporations and governments claim it is.
A spirited treatise, this book will make you think about choice in
a whole new way.
