In this "sure-fire all-American success story" (The New York Times Book Review), the founder of Wal-Mart describes the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to build the largest retailer in the world.
"[A] wise and inspiring autobiography-Walton tells his quietly fantastic story with conviction and makes no bones about his mistakes."-San Francisco Chronicle
Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America's heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into the retail giant Wal-Mart.
In Sam Walton: Made in America, he tells his extraordinary story in his own inimitable words. Genuinely modest but always sure of his ambitions and achievements, he shares a revealing perspective on the elements of his success along with his philosophy of life and practical business advice, including:
• Competition: I've always had a passion to compete. Our story proves that spirited competition is good for business
• Partnership: Individuals don't win; teams do. Wal-Mart is just a spectacular example of what happens when people find a way to work together.
• Money: Success has always had its price and I learned that lesson the hard way.
• Celebrity: I'm not sure I ever really figured out this celebrity business. Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dog around in, a Rolls-Royce?
• Family: The kids received your everyday heartland upbringing based on the same old bedrock values: a belief in the importance of hard work, honestly, neighborliness, and thrift.
A compelling self-portrait, Sam Walton: Made in America is an inspiring ode to the American Dream.

Interessantes Buch (wert der gebundenen Ausgabe) über der Entstehung und dem Wachstum einer der grössten Retailers in den Vereinigten Staaten. Die Geschichte wird erzählt von Sam Walton selber, seine Familienangehörigen und verschiedenen Geschäftspartner. Es formt sich damit ein Bild eines Unternehmers, wobei mir das Jiddische Wort Sjacherer - im positiven Sinne - am nähest kommt. Interssant dabei sind die Kombination von Eigenschaften wie Sparsamkeit, ‘common Sense’, Bauernschlauheit und einfach ehrlicher Lust zu unternehmen (man lese The Millionair next door, Stanley/Danko). Bleibt die Frage, wie die Zeit dieser Mensch beurteilen werde: Als Icon für kluge Unternehmer, oder als der Mann, der vor allem den Amerikaner tagtäglich mit einem Haufen nutzlosen Gegenständen aufsattelte und damit dem Durchschnitt US Haushalt jährlich an einem riesigen finanziellen Defizit verhalf.
