Perhaps you could show how WalMart's profit margins suddenly jumped when they "'encouraged' its suppliers to engage in wage arbitrage, pocketed the bulk of the savings, and passed a bit of the savings on to its consumers"

No, but I can show where suppliers are forced to cut into the bone to please Wal-Mart, and then have to offshore or go out of business.

Try FastCompany.com, click here and here.

Cheers!
