Award-winning author Rick Wartzman gets unparalleled access to Walmart, from the CEO suite, to the sales floor, documenting its transformation. Yet he also asks a critical question: Is it enough? How far does $12 an hour go in today's economy? Or even $15?

In this book: Still Broke: Walmart's Remarkable Transformation and the Limits of Socially Conscious Capitalism, Rick Wartzman pulls no punches in his efforts to pass judgment on Walmart's incomplete efforts to do right by its employees.

Thought provoking, fast paced, and incredibly well written, this book should be read, studied and shared with every executive in America. I hope this Business Builders Show interview moves you to buy this book.
