      Amerika im Griff von Amazon

      In seinem Gesellschaftsporträt der USA zeigt der preisgekrönte Investigativjournalist Alec MacGillis, wie Amazon die Spaltung Amerikas vorantreibt. Der Konzern verstärkt die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich, während immer weniger Menschen zu den Gewinnern gehören. In monopolartigen Verhältnissen akkumuliert Amazon Reichtum und Macht, und Jeff Bezos, der reichste Mann der Welt, profitiert von der wachsenden Ungleichheit. MacGillis' zehnjährige Recherche führt ihn von Washington über Seattle und San Francisco bis nach Baltimore und Ohio, wo er die Einzelschicksale, die Amazon prägt, zu einem Porträt der amerikanischen Gesellschaft verwebt. In Columbus, Ohio, erfährt er von Steuererleichterungen für Amazon, obwohl der Konzern die Löhne in der Region drückt. In Seattle beobachtet er, wie das riesige Amazon-Headquarter die Lebenshaltungskosten erhöht und die einst lebendige Black Community verdrängt. Das Werk ist mehr als ein Porträt Amazons; es ist ein Spiegelbild der USA, die zunehmend unter dem Einfluss des Konzerns leidet. MacGillis verdeutlicht, wie die Macht der Großkonzerne den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt bedroht und warnt vor den möglichen Folgen für Europa, wenn die Macht von Amazon nicht eingeschränkt wird.
