About This Item
New York, NY: Metropolitan Books, 2009 Metropolitan Books, New York. 2009. Hardcover. Stated First Edition/First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($25.00). White boards with maroon overlay on the spine with bright silver lettering on the spine. 311 pp 8vo. The definitive account of how a small Ozarks company upended the world of business, transformed global trade, changed the lives of workers and consumers, and put politics in every store. The author shows that WM's rise was closely linked to the cultural and religious values of Bible Belt America as well as to the imperial politics, deregulatory economics, and laissez-faire globalization of Ronald Reagan and his heirs. A clean pristine copy.
