On a local level. Walmart(s) have nearly destroyed every ma & pa business in the area. Every where you look you see small vacant buildings that once housed small businesses. And Walmart prospers because they buy most of what they sell from companies based overseas.
In my mind. Walmart has done more to damage the economy than the federal government did. Walmart made going offshore legitimate. So now everyone does it.

I have been saying this for many years.
Long ago, i had the privelege of being on Student council, and where i went to School. The School owned all the land, and leased it out to people in 99 year lots. Anyway, i voted against allowing Walmart in, a few years after i left, they were in though.
And of course many of the cool stores that people used to love are now gone.
