It’s the End of the World as We Know it (and Amazon Feels Not-so-Fine)
Establishing a regulatory framework around Amazon that does not address the ability of Amazon to use its power to influence the government would quite possibly take us the way of Dr. Frankenstein. The government’s place is not to run this market but rather to protect the people in it.

TMI?: Amazon’s Journey Through the World of Big Data
Nowhere in this story does Amazon enhance consumer welfare; it neither offers a better product to consumers nor a better service to other merchants. The company takes the data it gets from the small businesses it hosts and weaponizes that data against them.

On the Most Disrespected Person in America
In 1962, human rights activist Malcolm X expressed the plight of being a Black woman as that of the most disrespected, unprotected, and neglected American. 58 years later, the same sentiments unfortunately remain all too familiar.

Mr. Scaramucci Goes to Washington: An Interview with President Trump’s Former Communications Director
