The Stewart Establishment and New York’s Strained Economy
Dr Nolland critiques A IT Stewart and his vast dry goods empire. The piece argues his all‑inclusive business model depresses prices, crowds out independent shops, and leaves many small dealers and workers worse off, calling the enterprise a shadow over the city’s commerce.
