1) Is Wal-Mart's rapid increase to retail dominance a positive or a negative development for our society? What does it express us about capitalism, globalization and the plight of workers?
2) Can a retailer ever turn out to be too large and too powerful?
3) Is antagonism to Wal-Mart's expansion a legitimate part of the political process or is it unfair intrusion with our market system as well as a violation of the company's rights? Do challengers of Wal-Mart have any valid concerns?
