Some new information about the behemoth that is amazon, including some testimony before Congress, but I found this book episodic and a little unfocused.
It follows on earlier books showing the growth of the underclass of American workers, so not too much new here.
As a retailer myself, I find the rise of amazon mesmerizing and worrying. But there’s not much I can do to alter its trajectory.

Well, this was... *insert choice adjective here* to read/listen to right after the news of the Alabama union failure.
My emotions aside, this was incredibly well written. MacGillis does an excellent job of weaving together various storylines and talking about the history of where we've come to today. I really enjoyed this.

warehouse safety / union busting documented
history of the utter disappearance of local and regional businesses

Still, the author is writing this story in retrospect. That is, he is seeing the end-point McConnell and judging his progress to a seemingly logical conclusion. McConnell is a fierce and seemingly obsessive competitor. His ring is The Capitol. I’m confident that the other guys on his team are saying to themselves:”He’s just the guy we need in this environment.”… (altro)
