Su reportaje sobre el agua para "The Big Thirst" lo llevó a lugares extraordinarios, desde tanques de aguas residuales hasta manantiales prístinos, ofreciendo profundas perspectivas sobre un recurso vital. Fishman es célebre por su habilidad para desmitificar sistemas complejos, como demostró en su bestseller "The Wal-Mart Effect", que se convirtió en una lectura esencial para comprender el amplio impacto de la corporación.

    • Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest company--it is the largest company in the history of the world. It is estimated that the company's low prices save American consumers $10 billion a year--but the #1 employer in 37 states has never let a union in the door. Though 70% of Americans now live within a 15-minute drive of a Wal-Mart, we have not even begun to understand the true power of the company. We know about the lawsuits and the labour protests, but what we don't know is how profoundly the "Wal-Mart effect" is changing our America's economy, our workforce, our communities, and our environment. Journalist Fishman takes us on a behind-the-scenes investigative expedition, interviewing 25 high-level ex-executives and a host of Wal-Mart's suppliers, and journeying to the ports and factories where Wal-Mart's power is warping the very structure of the world's market.--From publisher description
