Publisher's Synopsis
""Is The Chain Store A Menace?"" by J.C. Penny is a thought-provoking book that delves into the impact of chain stores on local businesses and communities. The author, who is a successful businessman himself, examines the rise of chain stores and their effects on small businesses, employment, and consumer behavior. Through a series of case studies and personal anecdotes, Penny argues that while chain stores may offer lower prices and convenience, they ultimately harm local economies and communities by driving out small businesses and reducing job opportunities. He also offers solutions for how communities can support local businesses and resist the dominance 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.
