Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post by Martin Baron

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

The latter half of this book devolves into a mess of centrist handwringing and meandering overcompensation. At some points, important concepts and informative insights ring through, but not so strongly as in the first 10-12 chapters. Additionally, the author seems unable to separate his relationship with Bezos-which significantly blurs the lines between personal and professional despite Baron's seeming inability to recognize as such-from the CEO's position of power in the US economy and politics. Baron states the admirable position of reluctance to trust politicians, yet has a rose-tinted admiration and explicit faith in a man with more wealth than a large portion of Americans combined.
