Why does the writer call wanamaker's sistem Napoleonic or daemonic?

Answer 1

The writer says that people could only

purchase what Mr. Wanamaker wanted to

sell. He was probably only partially serious. People got the best deals only on

what Mr. Wanamaker purchased in bulk,

but they could buy other things as well.

2. People wanted to take advantage of good

deals.

3. Students may write that he probably used

the adjective Napoleonic to describe Mr.

Wanamaker's system because Napoleon

conquered most of Europe in the same

way the department store owner conquered his competition. He used the

adjective daemonic to indicate a person

who is highly inspired or motivated.

4. The doctrine of final utility is the price at

which people will find it worthwhile to

buy something. It does not account for

the cost of production.

5. Wanamaker made a profit for himself and

provided good deals for his customers,

but he put smaller stores out of business.

6. Students may write that small stores

might try to specialize, offering goods and

services that department stores do not.
