Vote with your feet!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat if it's not that simple?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eNo One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003eTom Slee\u003c\/b\u003e unpacks the implications of our fervent belief in the power of choice. Pointing out that individual choice has become the lynchpin of a neoconservative corporate ideology he calls MarketThink, he urges us to re-examine our assumptions . Slee makes use of game theory to argue that individual choice is not inherently bad. Nor is it the societal fix-all that our corporations and governments claim it is.
