An "illuminating, lucid, and finely detailed" (The Washington Post) look at Amazon's world-dominating business model, the current competitors either imitating or trying to outfox Amazon, and "how Jeff Bezos turned Amazon into the world's lockdown necessity" (The Times, UK)--from an award-winning Fortune magazine writer.Like Henry Ford, Sam Walton, or Steve Jobs in the early years of Ford, Walmart, and Apple, Jeff Bezos is the business story of the decade. Amazon's business model has not only turned the retail industry and cloud computing inside out, but now its tentacles are squeezing media and advertising, Bezos, the richest man on the planet, has built one of the most efficient wealth-creation machines in history with more than 2% of US household income being spent on nearly 500 million products shipped from warehouses in seventeen countries.
