Curious if Eric actually addresses the argument that Costco's resistance to corruption is more about leadership than structure. That hot dog story is a powerful counterexample to his structural thesis.


Yup. The hot dog story is in the book, and although it is a leadership story, that leadership is protected by a unique structure. Without which, I think it's very clear that it would be insufficient. You'll have to read the book to get al the details :)
