President Trump is mad at Amazon. He thinks the retail behemoth is shortchanging the U.S. in taxes, ripping off the Post Office, and throwing "many thousands of retailers out of business." And the thing is, he's not wrong.
Mega-corporations really are strangling the American economy ‐ and it's not just Amazon.
If Americans want to restore a healthy share of economic prosperity to the U.S. hinterland ‐ the type of places that are (somewhat inaccurately) often classed as "Trump country" ‐ an attack on concentrated market power must be a key part of the equation. |
