Ep 178 - The People's Republic of Walmart (w/ Leigh Phillips & Michal Rozworski)

Walmart is the world's largest corporation, a mantle it has achieved by (internally) eschewing market-based allocation, and developing itself into a sophisticated and well-functioning globally-planned economy. This week, guests Leigh and Michal join the Wrong Boys to talk about their new book, and how analyzing the biggest, multinational, consumer-facing corporations puts to rest the myth that economic planning doesn't work.
