Product Description

You can shop anywhere you like - as long as it's Tesco. The inexorable rise of supermarkets is big news but have we really taken on board what this means for our daily lives, and those of our children? But there's change afoot, with evidence of the tide turning and consumer campaigns gaining ground. This title tackles this subject.

Review
"'Creative and compelling' The Guardian 'This book should be essential reading' Robert Watson, Head of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 'A compelling argument...find out you really owes what to whom' Tony Juniper, Friends of the Earth."

John Bird, founder of the Big Issue and local-shop loyalty scheme the Wedge Card
`Simms shows the creeping, invading unsustainable world of the
supershop, its tentacles strangling the life out of our communities. Read
it.'

Alain de Botton
`What should be done about Tesco? Many critics want the place
banned and hemmed in by regulation ... But ultimately the real trick is not
to ban such places, but to create different desires in consumers, to reach
a situation where people are sufficiently sensitised to the drawbacks of
Tesco or Macdonald's that they won't want to shop there.'
