NY Times Columnist Nominates Sam Walton for Nobel Prize

In his column today, John Tierney of The New York Times argues that Sam Walton would have been a deserving winner of the Nobel Peace Prize: "Has any organization in the world lifted more people out of poverty than Wal-Mart?" Tierney adds that Michael Strong, the head of Flow, a nonprofit group promoting entrepreneurship overseas "challenged anyone to name an organization that is doing more to alleviate third world poverty than Wal-Mart." Predictably, Strong has "gotten a lot of angry responses from Wal-Mart's critics, but nobody has come up with a convincing nomination for a more effective antipoverty organization."
