and, or was shut down, discussion inquiry, and dare i say it thought there's a certain irony when universities start adding trigger warnings to 1984, there's something very big brother about it. i think 13 year olds might find some of the scenes in an all disturbing, but i don't think any one of undergraduates age is really shocked by a book any more shocked own or perhaps by how all? well, in his dystopian science fiction depiction of mass media control, censorship and surveillance is becoming airily familiar. in fact, 70 is on. it's so relevant today that it's still on amazon's best sellers list and sets quite well on north hamptons, academic courses, alongside samuel beckett's play, and game, as well as alan laws, v for vendetta. oh, but they to come a trick of warnings, of course, i mean generations of students are ready with a being offended and being able to re do without any kind of supervision. so i don't understand why they have to molly katelyn to protect this generation of

students is rather insulting to the intelligence. on the one hand, you have students trying to cancel controversial views and on the other you have academics falling into line behind this kind of nonsense saying the controversial views have to be flagged up in advance. so students must be ready to encounter them. oh, it could an infant alizay's sion o student life university and has to be diss and must be deplored. well, when i was at university, i was reading all sorts of things for my dissertation defending the west, the rise of islamic state. i don't think either of those have made the can't these days do you. but even when i was at school i was reading to kill a mocking bird and jane air, both of which are now on the naughty sap. okay. kids are reading books these days

anyway, they're glue to the tv screens and maybe that's for the best. i'm an every party i get, i am free going to be any. was gonna be any going to be a law. ok. ok. perhaps not. and his family have come to the library. why? why? that's better. the way things are going. papa will be deemed piggish, pinky and pig phobic some day. you can read more about that right now. the op ed section of r t dot com, wrapping up the news constable. this our, the like from moscow on this tuesday. thanks for joining us. it is 4 32 pm here on the russian capital. returning soon at the top of the out with more of your worldwide. ah, ah, me.

and they all on both sides. they don't anything out aah versus the anthro she but she have to have the key nor to give the amount of 19876. just like an average ordinary guy, you can tell you, talk to him, and then you realize this guy's go on, always play the no shortage on one

number one is amazon founder and ceo jeff basis is the 1st 20000000 people to what you've been told amazon diversity, so media to do that, i'm using my resources to put in place heavy lifting and infrastructure so that the next generation of people can have a dynamic entrepreneurial explosion into space have is you're still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos.

amazon is a large store, know it sends out $150.00 parcels per 2nd, adding up to 5000000000 each year. it's boss jeff bezos has a single obsession to sell everything instantly everywhere and to satisfy his customers every desire without delay. there are

300000000 amazon customers worldwide today. the multinational company is revolutionizing commerce and the way we consume it is even succeeded in shrinking time and space. how exactly is amazon taking over the whole planet? what does jeff bezos want that he doesn't already have?

what future does the multinational wish to impose on us and at what cost? with our story begins in 1094 in the seattle suburb jeff bezos, a 30 something wall street expatriate creates amazon in its garage. and jeff basis and what are your, what is your claim to fame and the founder of amazon dot com. where did you get an idea for amazon dot com? well, 3 years ago, i was in new york city where he for quantitative hedge fund. when it came across

the startling statistic, the web usage was great in 2300 percent a year. so i decided i would try and find the business plan that made sense in the context agro with me. in the beginning they were only 3. 1 of the things it was really happening in seattle of that tie, what was grudge so, so you had nevada and pearl jam and all like on a music. so a plaid shirts on, on every one. paul davis is one of the programmers who developed amazon's very 1st website at amazon, his cellphone was out in a suburb that really was very far from the city and clubs and any kind of of seen that that might be happening. there were basically 2 programmers working hard riding code and jeff, working hard on, on the sort of business he so i of the new company. there wasn't this kind of

really fuel energy, you know, like, oh my god, you know, what's going to be a goal today? well, what are we going to take off than i am? i got if that isn't done isn't done tonight, things fall apart. it was more just a case of but sonically working as quickly as, as we could buy books arrived, somebody was gonna have to pack them up and shut them out and so on. so that will be jeff. this is like the super early days when it was really just still the 3 of us plus his wife working part time. so sometimes it will be white mackenzie, sometimes it would even be shallow roy if there weren't that many. and we want super hide off and something this is at a time where, you know, we're typically we were handling, you know, maybe less than 20 books per day or something. mm . 25 years later amazon no longer sends 20 parcels, but 14000000

a day. the company owns over 250 warehouses and delivered on 5 continents or amazon success coach stacy mitchell's attention. she heads the institute for local self reliance research center, studying the evolution of the american economy. for the past 10 years, she has been closely monitoring the growth of the beast. amazon is like, it's like this invisible force. you know, it's got, it's tend to holes in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into there. now the biggest clothing retailer in the us and

they produce a lot of clothing. bookstores, toys, stores, hardware stores, kind of grown invisibly. it doesn't get noticed are covered by the media and the same way because it's not physically present except in just a few places. amazon is growing so rapidly, they are creating a lot of jobs, but as they grow, they're destroying a lot of jobs. and we found that for every one new amazon job that had been created, there were 2 jobs that were lost at existing businesses. we've lost about 85000 independent small businesses in the last 10 years. we've lost about $35000.00 small and mid sized manufacturers. you amazon is that the only cause, but it's the top cause of those losses. lou. stacey mitchell investigates amazon strategy of

conquests. there's a balancing act that they seem to walk between slowly taking over everything and rapidly taking over everything and yet not being so visible that people become alarmed. since i'm way is we're, you know, the train has left the station and as a society of, we're going to try to figure out how to bring that back. it's much harder to do now than it would've been 10 years ago. if we had noticed what was really happening in the united states, amazon now controls half of all online commerce the company leads online sales in clothing, electronics books, dds personal care, and the products ah, it also offers the video on demand, online music, streaming video games,

data storage insurance, as well as drugs. amazon also embodies a certain vision of america, progressive and liberal. its acquisition of whole foods leader of high end organic produce is a good example. jeff bezos is a complex character. he's a ceo as well as an investor, but in 2013, he personally acquired the washington post. one of the most prestigious newspapers in the u. s. ah. step by step. the amazon empire extends its grip on the world. here really hid amazon at this point represents the transformation of the american economy. i mean, you know, the old saying when i 1st came the street and kind of back in the day was what's good for g. m is good for the country today. that's largely amazon as the largest market cap company. it's, it's greatly intertwined with the entire american global economy. amazon

essentially controls the marketplace. it's not really a market, it's a private arena. amazon sets the rules. it gives the side which companies get the best spots which companies rank in the search rankings. who can even be there, what they're allowed to sell, how they can communicate with their customers, what they have to pay in order to be part of it. the old saying is if it walks like a duck in quiet like a duck, it's a duck. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like a monopoly. behaves like monopoly. so when i looked at it, you have to use monopolies in the traditional sense, upon a comparable type company. the real definition of a monopoly is when you have the ability to control the terms by which other player is can access the market. when you have that kind of power to dictate what happens and amazon has that power, amazon has become

a kind of gatekeeper. and their strategy is very much about being the e commerce platform for the entire world. ah, is the earth's still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos? you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon is. i'm trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that walks like a duck and quacks like a dog. it's a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like monopoly behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controls the market place. it's not really a market as a private arena, a wild, where a single company controls the distribution of all day. the products and the infrastructure of our economy. is this the world according to amazon,

with amazon is conquering one territory after another. after the u. s. just basic, still control of england, germany, france, japan, canada, italy, spain, brazil, mexico, and australia. today, the decisive battle for the company is taking place in india. in 2013 amazon arrived in india with the intention of gaining control of a market estimated at $100000000000.00 conquer or for the

what amazon has been able to achieve globally is to been able to win pretty much all major markets globally. right. for that is in europe or in u. s. and some of the other asian markets as will outside of china. the only better seized of it is still open is india rentals heat and another one with india is the fastest growing economy in the world with a 7 percent growth in 2017 oh, $1.00. in

recent years, some 200000000 indians have joined the middle class dramatically increasing the number of internet users and eager consumers. as a result, indian e commerce is growing by 30 to 50 percent every year. amazon is not the only company trying to tap into this growth. competing with jeff bezos as flip car, the leader of the indian market founded by 2 ex amazon employees and paid him a new startup financed by chinese giant ali baba. the 3 of them are waging a multi $1000000000.00 commercial war. in his 1st year, jeff bezos invested $2000000000.00 and then $2000000000.00 more the following year

. to gain market share, amazon has already invested $5000000000.00 in india without seeing a profit. all these tree, our players are armed, still the top. oh, they have a lot of phoenician, lot of funding, big guys backing up so you don't see any one falling apart any time soon. the battle gets even more complex as these multinational cor durations are facing a very strong nationalist pushback in india. this is the case in old delhi, the commercial district of the indian capital here, commercial structures have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. really that i will never read them monday. i need to get some of

your medical sitting at this table and 15 angry men, the largest group of merchants in all each own several shops in the neighborhood. they are the 1st to feel the impact of amazon's presence. or maybe you can do you know, the merchants of old delhi are worried, but they have a major asset to slow down amazon's rise.

they formed the electoral base of the b, j. p. the party empower and india since 2014 its leader prime minister and her and ramadi, promotes an exacerbated form of nationalism and defense protection is view of the economy. ah, the indian government recently introduced a bill that could severely limit amazon's room to maneuver. notably by preventing it from under cutting prices, jeff bezos had to engage in a diplomatic game. he regularly meets with prime minister moody it's a significant stick for amazon and for, for the kind of investments which amazon has been doing in market as a reflection of the find that house heedlessly the deepest market. and if it fails,

or to deflect vod in a global v all for amazon it's, it's not a regional story. it's a, it's a global story for a, a to count to the americans, the merchantable. deli, have a plan to ensure the government doesn't forget them. a

pleasure for the 5 or 10 years down the line to go down deep pockets if they can afford to have a big office. that is why they are coming through and via you can see any example. there was a event in the process that you did a better one market as of now again, then you did one. hopefully a lot of you, ah, this bus will go around the country to alert other merchants and the population at large of the threat that looms over india. or even guardy with

. 6 ah, in 2018, amazon announced its intention to invest yet again another $2000000000.00 in the country. it's operations in india have so far resulted in a net loss of $883000000.00. investing massive amounts of money often at a loss in order to conquer market share is the foundation of jeff bezos. global strategy despite is risky plan. amazon's boss still maintains the competence of the financial markets. amazon stock value rises constantly in the last 4 years, it is increased fivefold and amazon lost about $3000000000.00 in its 1st 6 years and business selling books at

a loss. and it worked, you know, i mean, now amazon is the dominant book retailer with more than half the market. and they've consistently done that in one sector after another where they go in, they lose money. other companies that are not, don't have the same backing from wall street, aren't able to operate at a loss. they go out of business, amazon takes over, you know, i misses a company that's, that is that you're able to lose money like that in a way that no one else is. yep, he's our ceo. i mean, one of the things when you're analyzing a company is management's credibility. he spent time on wall street at a large hedge fund. i believe he sorta intuitively knew what institutional investors were looking for new, how to educate them about timeframes. i mean, as an analyst, it's not just about how much cash, what you want to win, that cash is expected to come in the door that helps you build better financial models. and so i believe he did

a good job in the speech language to our financial market participants. jeff bezos has been very astute at how he communicates what he's doing to wall street. and he always talks about this idea that amazon is for the long term that he is not focused on the short term that what he is building is something much bigger. and it's over the long term. and wall street investors have, have very much bought into that idea and they have backed this company, even in the years when amazon lost a lot of money years when they made very little money. wall street continued to back this company. jeff bezos was successful in imposing his long term vision to an economy geared toward short term profits. having secured the confidence of wall street, he was able to make all of the world's commodities available in one click. this
