On The Media: a show on Amazon and Anttrust Laws
The public Radio show, On the Media has a great episode on antitrust law and Amazon: Making America Antitrust Again
Since Amazon’s founding in 1994, the corporation has taken over industry after industry, defining what we buy and how we buy. Stacy Mitchell is the co-director of Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Earlier this year she wrote an article for The Nation called, “Amazon doesn’t just want to dominate the market — it wants to become the market.” Stacy and Brooke talk about the history of regulation of corporate concentration and where the movement is headed.
