>Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a retailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space.
I haven't read it all, but think it's the basically the same paper than I saw earlier last year, and it was very good. It's a deep discussion of why the way we think today about monopoly and antirust laws has been abused, and aren't functioning anymore in this day and age. "There's other companies" is not nearly enough.
I really recommend it, it's long but a worthwhile read.
