Publisher's Synopsis
""Is The Chain Store A Menace?"" by J.C. Penny is a thought-provoking book that explores the impact of chain stores on local communities and small businesses. The author, who himself founded a successful chain of department stores, presents a nuanced analysis of the pros and cons of chain stores. He examines the ways in which chain stores can bring convenience, lower prices, and greater efficiency to consumers, but also highlights the negative effects they can have on small businesses, local economies, and the social fabric of communities. Drawing on his own experiences and extensive research, Penny offers practical solutions for balancing the benefits and drawbacks of chain stores. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the economics of retail and the impact of corporate power on local communities.""THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: A Basis for Stability, by J.
