Jeff Bezos is not only the richest man in the world, he has built a business that is without precedent in the history of American capitalism. His power to shape everything from the future of work to the future of commerce to the future of technology is unrivaled. As politicians and regulators around the world start to consider the global impact of Amazon — and how to rein in Bezos’ power — FRONTLINE investigates how he executed a plan to build one of the most influential economic and cultural forces in the world.

Ummmm well we all continue to feed the beast so….
Common American Capitalism.and legal all the way back the the Industrial Revolution.
Alexa isn’t listening to you, she’s "listening" to you.
Hard Work pays off. Period!
Hey Human Being Jeff Bezloser, Pay your Fair Share of TAXES based on at least the Same % as your fellow Working Class, United States Occupants!
Greed brings on Major Instability in any Country!!
Who are you & what are your Values! I am a USA & Vietnam veteran, who took an Oath to Our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights Amendments & Democracy Itself!!
Sir, at Last, what do you Believe in & Value!!
You take a job knowing exactly what you will be doing, then decide you don’t like it and blame the company. Why not just get a different job, move on. And I am not poking at these employees, I just don’t see the issue. Its called work for a reason. If it was too fun they would not pay you to do it..
It’s easy to see through PBS’s natural bias when they make these. However I found that I was able to get balanced opinions from both sides despite the spin.
I know PBS wanted me to hate Amazon after watching this, but I’m still pretty neutral.
I for one love American success stories. This is one of them. You must give Jeff Bezos tremendous credit for his never give up spirit. What he has done is crazy. BUT…Just amazing to see, knowingly or unknowingly, people that are pushing this genius insanity in the name of progress. I get the absolute desire and obsession to institute this technology, but this is 100% NWO CONTROL application happening right before our eyes/ears. In spite of the positives noted by these talking heads, this is going to be a major regret for those who fall for this control of the populations in so many areas. I wonder if Jeff Bezos knows he is doing the deep state/NWO’s work for their ultimate one-world take over? Maybe not. George Orwell was prophetic. Beware…..
The interviewer is Lit, Good job.
I’d work my body off so long as I’m paid for the work. Well paid….
So basically jeff does life … what a great answer he thinks of things he can accomplished then tries it if he fails he stops … obviously not verbatim but that was the guys answer in a nut shell .. isnt that what we all do every day of our life like what a spectacular political answer that basically answers nothing.
One may have artificial gravity. Now you must construct a means to get the population. You must also provide for plants and animals. Then another facility to manufacture.
If I was half as good at lying as these Amazon executives are, I’d be making millions too. Parrots repeating bs talking points. Disgusting.
Wal-Mart and Amazon will help kill what’s left of the USA (wild uneducated Guess)
some scary eyes going on there…. Is Amazon donating at least 25% to save the real Amazon. if not I am hopeful this happens soon or both will fall. pEace
I’d been considering closing my prime account for a year, 6 mo ago I paused the account. After this documentary I’m going to cancel. It’s not ok to treat the warehouse workers like that. Plus the fact that Amazon has tentacles reaching in so many directions feel ominous. A lot of the stuff being sold on Amazon is crap (at least the stuff that I’m looking at) and using it got me way too used to buying things I really never needed (mostly) and getting use to shipment time frames that are unnecessary and reduce my ability to be patient. Most of us really don’t NEED Amazon, right?
Data = info =war = infowars
Does besoz look like Dr evil? Just asking….. I don’t know the dude
1% Inspiration, 99% perspiration.
Amazon
Ignorance breeds fear
And fear- hatred
Ultimately, destruction. I love Jeff Man …hero or villain.
Excellent documentary
It is not impossible to bet Amazon…just be faster! Amazon only delivers that 1st prime package in 2 days after that, it all up to the shipper.
Interviewer has done a very good job.
lol winning capitalism
Wanna get rich? Marry an entrepreneur and divorce him when successful. $38 billion… eff my life.
I would like to shop through amazon anyone to advice is it trustworthy???
I hate that I like Amazon as much as I do. I hate that I don’t hate Bezos. Ugh.
as a day one picker you needed to have 350 parts per hour, 5,000 items a night without fail. pee for three minutes , make it up, can’t hit rate you got two weeks then no job. lengthy hours, highly physical and repetitive with management that is terrible
the delivery guys hate delivering packages. they never knock or ring your door bell and neighbors steaal packages.
boycott
I quit Amazon last month. They aren’t any better than EBAY and Prime is a joke. I NEVER, not even once received a package the next day. The ROI on Prime is totally NOT worth it for my family and I rarely have to pay for shipping on EBAY. Note: there is no money sucking annual fees on EBAY either.
To bad neuro-link isn’t up and running. The title would read "How six Amazon executives lie through their teeth"!
15:08: a former Amazon employee feels ashamed for using customer data to try to offer said customer with additional products he or she may like? (Am I missing something?)
And the meek shall inherit the earth.
Oh….one more thing….AMAZON, you need to find a new tester for your RING camera….the psycho domestic terrorist millennial loser punks out there today want the police defunded. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.
Amazon is not a monopoly, but if it were to become on, it would not be because of capitalism but the exact opposite.
"Big things, start small" woah! Stop the press!! Never heard that before!! Thats some life changes words there! I need that as a tshirt asap! 😒🤦🏽♂️
How would we as a society know if law enforcement was misusing it ? Would They report their own department? I wouldnt think so. They are too busy protecting each other.
Wow never knew Bezos had this sinister laugh. I would be scared to work with him.
Props to amazon
No idea how I’m gonna built this kinda empire
51:00 …CHECK! This is like watching a game of chess.
Data is mean automatically win. Thats word 👌
One trillion dollar company and ZERO tax payment to our government. I’m happy to pay my share of tax because it strengthens the infrastructures that we benefit from. Doesn’t the company use the paved roads, freeways, ramps, bridges, canals to avoid flooding of the roads, pavements for their workers delivery workers to walk on, stop lights and stop signs so their goods are safely delivered… all these infrastructure across the country are used by Amazon. Zero tax paid by Amazon. Amazon May have lost a lot of money in the early years and this may be the reason for not paying taxes, but now that it is making tons and tons of money, start paying your share of taxes.
Antitrust changed when lobbiest were allowed to bribe officials. (When corporations "became people") Call it what you will ,but that’s the bottom line of the truth.
Competition is the wrong word used.
Its annihilation of the other company.
He made more money because of US government didn’t charged amazon yearly taxes and US government given benefits to amazon for there giving company stocks to there high ranked workers. Just to bad his wife had divorced him.
Up next BANKS closing down !
ImaPon (the shopping channel that steals your money if you are a seller)… and the life waters of Amazon. I will help protect you.
I find it funny these liberal Marxist Democrats speaking against Amazon, yet Bezos is in bed with them. Hmmm. He votes for them. Hobnobs with them. Obama buddy. Obama Justice Dept would not touch him when smaller businesses complained of their predatory practices. At least Trump denied Amazon the Pentagon contract (but Microsoft and führer Bill Gates is no better….maybe worse….NWO cretins). Washington Post is a liberal Marxist propaganda rag of a paper. Strange bedfellows indeed.
