Charles Fishman duikt in de innerlijke werking van organisaties, zowel bekende als geheime, om te verhelderen hoe ze functioneren. Zijn verslaggeving over water voor 'The Big Thirst' bracht hem op buitengewone plaatsen, van rioolwaterzuiveringsinstallaties tot ongerepte bronnen, en bood diepgaande inzichten in een vitale hulpbron. Fishman staat bekend om zijn vermogen om complexe systemen te ontrafelen, zoals aangetoond in zijn bestseller 'The Wal-Mart Effect', dat een essentiële lectuur werd om de brede impact van het bedrijf te begrijpen. Door levendige beschrijvingen en een onderzoekende blik trekt Fishman de lezers naar het hart van cruciale kwesties die onze wereld vormgeven.

An examination of the passing of the golden age of water and the shocking facts about how water scarcity will soon be a major factor in our lives.
Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest company--it is the largest company in the history of the world. It is estimated that the company's low prices save American consumers $10 billion a year--but the #1 employer in 37 states has never let a union in the door. Though 70% of Americans now live within a 15-minute drive of a Wal-Mart, we have not even begun to understand the true power of the company. We know about the lawsuits and the labour protests, but what we don't know is how profoundly the "Wal-Mart effect" is changing our America's economy, our workforce, our communities, and our environment. Journalist Fishman takes us on a behind-the-scenes investigative expedition, interviewing 25 high-level ex-executives and a host of Wal-Mart's suppliers, and journeying to the ports and factories where Wal-Mart's power is warping the very structure of the world's market.--From publisher description
