The Amazon System

Show notes

Millions of products are just a mouse click away. It just takes us one or two days of waiting until we'll get our product delivered by Amazon. It's a comfortable system for us as customers. But how about the people working there? In this episode, we talk to Ellen Reese and Jake Alimahomed-Wilson who published a book about Amazon's system: The Cost of Free Shipping -- Amazon in the Global Economy. We also listen to the insights of Norbert Faltin, a former works council at Amazon to find out how dangerous Amazon is for workers but also for the democracy of Europe.
