I think your blog was really good. Your argument is well considered and I agree that it is a shame small businesses in this country are suffering while corporations like Starbucks and Wal- Mart grow beyond comfort. I do think, however, you may have misinterpreted what the woman in class was trying to communicate. What I believe she was trying to say was that, from a purely economic perspective, what the founders of both Starbucks and Wal- Mart were able to do with their small businesses in the competitive market is pretty remarkable. This does not forgive unethical business practices should they occur, it only speaks to their ability to surpass the competition. But again, I really dug your piece. Gnarly Job.
