Not at all boring. The articles recently posted on China are fascinating. Yesterday, the New York Times went back to the theme about how Wal-Mart is a major force in China and is also pushing wages down there as well as with the grocery workers in California. All sorts of very ominous things are happening. Maybe we don't want to think about them, but they are important nonetheless. =================== An expose on how Wal-Mart's attorneys navigate the thicket of international contracts to create their planet wide commodity chain and the ensuing misery for over a million workers would be a real world mockery of what is left of neoclassical theories of the firm. I know Liza Featherstone is working on a story of the corp. Is any one else looking at that issue? Ian
