The Walton family – entrepreneurial giants or too much power over America?

The Walton family, behind the retail giant Walmart, has sparked extreme emotions in the U.S. for decades. On one hand, they are seen as a symbol of entrepreneurship and the American dream, on the other – as monopolists who crush local stores and dictate working conditions for millions of people. Critics emphasize that Walmart, through its size and political influence, has a real impact on the economy, consumer culture, and Americans’ daily lives. Supporters see it as a chance for cheap shopping and stable employment. In the background, conspiracy theories circulate about the sources of the Waltons’ power and their ties to political elites. And you – has one family’s control over the market gone too far?
