The major difference here is the scale. Everyone of course focuses on optimizing prices, but Wal-Mart uses its size as levarge so it affects other companies which may not want to out source overseas and forces them to do so. That is more a tactic of a monopoly than a fair business, which is why there are regulations against monopolies in the US. What it does to its own workers is one thing, but forcing its suppliers to modify their business practices, that is room for argument.
