Description: People's Republic of Walmart : How the World's Biggest Corporations Are Laying the Foundation for Socialism, Paperback by Phillips, Leigh; Rozworski, Michal, ISBN 178663516X, ISBN-13 9781786635167, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Phillips, a science writer and European Union affairs journalist, and Rozworski, a union researcher and writer in Canada, aim to bring together and simplify ideas and findings on the concept of planning in the economy and consider how it can be democratic. They discuss whether the plans that capitalists use to get goods and services to those who can pay for them could be transformed to ensure that what is produced gets to those who need it most, thereby transforming the way products are distributed and possibly transforming the economy. They discuss Walmart and Amazon as examples of techniques of production and distribution that could be repurposed to democratize global governance, economics, and planning, and examine index funds, the nationalization of health care (particularly the UK’s National Health Service), the place of planning in the Soviet Union, economic planning under the Marxist administration of Salvador Allende, and the role of climate change.
