From your "City Journal" article:
"Pursuing this formula brilliantly, Wal-Mart has led a productivity revolution in retailing, which has supercharged the American economy, making a vast cornucopia of merchandise affordable to ordinary consumers, thanks to Wal-Mart's much lower prices than in the days when small-town merchants took their 45 percent profit margins. "
That's not "competent journalism", that's cheerleading.
