Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America
by Alec MacGillis, Stefan Alexander MacGillis
OMG. One of my peace vigil buddies mentioned this book, so I put on hold and, eventually, the library let me check it out.
Basically, it tells how we've been f*ed by Amazon. But not just Amazon, other things as well, offshoring, the incredible rise in political lobbying, and so forth. Rather illuminating, if not a bit depressing.
One of the things that set me back was how far the city of Baltimore has fallen since my youth. I grew up there, and when I was a kid, Baltimore was the sixth largest city in the U.S. and had a number of important industries. Such is the case no longer, and Baltimore isn't even so large as formerly piddling cities like Columbus, Ohio or Jackson, Florida. WTF?
