You have to think more about its anticompetitive behaviors across a number of industries to understand how it is a monopoly. Bezos is a genius. The company employs its power across so many industries that its ability to kill competition can always be defended with, “Yeah, but we don’t control X % of any specific market except a few like books, about which no one cares.”
One of the articles I cited notes AMZN is also a monopsony in some markets. I think that’s true. In that regard, I think it’s uniquely anticompetitive. WalMart is in the same basket. Ask any wholesaler or manufacturer who’s been to Bentonville to negotiate fair prices with those assholes.
