At the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC, Richard Vedder discusses his book, "The Wal-Mart Revolution." The book asserts that Wal-Mart stores benefit consumers by offering low prices, benefit employees by offering fair wages, and benefit communities by boosting employment and income. Andrew Grossman, founder of Wal-Mart Watch, and Michael Barone, senior writer at U.S. News & World Report, respond to Mr. Vedder’s remarks.
