{"product_id":"no-one-makes-you-shop-tom-slee-9781897071069","title":"No One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart: The Surprising Deceptions of Individual Choice","description":"We live in a culture of choice. But, in an age of corporate dominance, our freedom to choose has taken on new meaning. Upset with your local big box store? Object to unfair hiring practices at your neighbourhood fast food restaurant? Want to protest the opening of that new multinational coffeeshop? Vote with your feet  \u003cbr\u003e What if it's not that simple? \u003cbr\u003e In \"No One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart,\" Tom Slee unpacks the implications of our fervent belief in the power of choice. Pointing out that individual choice has become the lynchpin of a neoconservative corporate ideology he calls MarketThink, he urges us to re-examine our assumptions . Slee makes use of game theory to argue that individual choice is not inherently bad. Nor is it the societal fix-all that our corporations and governments claim it is. A spirited treatise, this book will make you think about choice in a whole new way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Slee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 189707106X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897071069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Between the Lines(CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.16w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2006 pg. 51","brand":"Tom Slee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052955889919,"sku":"9781897071069","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c56e6998-33be-4cf5-b4d6-a796f6fa2fc0.jpg?v=1685021577","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-one-makes-you-shop-tom-slee-9781897071069","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
