IKEA is as bad as Wal-Mart  

I don't know what that
weird website is all about, but IKEA being a slop business like Wal-Mart is not a new concept. I don't think, however, IKEA treats their employees as poorly as Wal-Mart has.

NYT Review
The New York Times reviewed this book as well as another similarly themed book. I particularly liked the ending of the review:
"Mr. Anderson sees that consumers think not only about money but also about intangibles like convenience, access, quality and time. Ms. Shell?s intangibles are different; she argues that moral accountability and responsibility are often sacrificed for the sake of cheap pricing. But her self-righteousness can backfire.
At the end of a chapter largely devoted to the horrors of Asian shrimp farming, she describes being in a Red Lobster restaurant with friends and being enlightened enough to eschew cheap shrimp in favor of chicken. Yet cheap chicken-farming isn?t any less ghastly. It just doesn?t happen to be addressed by this book."
