I'm not a "Wal-Mart" supporter, but I'm also not a supporter of people who use political power against "Wal-Mart". I certainly am not a supporter of the idea that either Wall-Mart, or the free market ideas expressed in the article tom clarke posted even remotely "harken back to a feudal society". A free market is very different then a feudal society. In a feudal society political power directly controls much of the relatively limited economic activity. In an economic sense feudalism is far more like socialism then capitalism. Its sort of a primitive form of socialism.
