How to Resist Amazon & Why
Book by Danny Caine
The Fight for: Local economies, data privacy, fair labor, independent bookstores, and a people-powered future
When a company's workers are dying on the job, when their business model relies on preying on local businesses and even their own vendors, when their CEO is literally the richest person in the world while their workers make low wages with impossible quotas... wouldn't you want to resist?
Sparked by one bookshop owner's shock at Amazon's takeover, this book brings to light the disgusting truth of one mega-corporation's impact. In this updated and expanded version, discover not only the history of Amazon's rise to dominance, but also the resistance efforts that have already been successful. A book of both enlightenment and hope, How to Resist Amazon and Why calls for action from every reader, backing up every claim with evidence and anecdotes.
