I understand that it hurts small business by driving customers away from smaller shops with their lower prices, but I don’t get why all these anti-trade hippos blame Wal-Mart for destroying the American economy. Isn’t Wal-Mart an American corporation? Therefore, doesn’t the money you spend at wal-mart stay in America?

Why did people says that Walmart pays ($8 an hour) it’s employees unfairly while places like Best Buy pay ($8 an hour) their employees the same. Do you think the American Economy would be better off if we stop buying at Wal-Mart, and brought stuff at other stores? It’s seem most retailer pay employees the same, maybe I am wrong.
I am not for or against WalMart. I just want to hear people thoughts I just think it’s funny how people are attacking WalMart for the way it pays it’s employees when other retailers pay near the same.

Do I need to go beyond a basic, university economics class to succeed as an executive? How applicable/ practical would my knowledge of economics be if I wanted to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company (regardless the industry)? Would you say that knowledge of marketing, finance, accounting, supply chain, and organizational behavior be more important? I would appreciate a ranking of the subjects in terms of importance.
