Dana Mattioli, Wall Street Journal reporter and author of The Everything War: Amazon's Ruthless Quest to Own the World and Remake Corporate Power, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Dana discuss Amazon's rise through the lens of debates about corporate power, why FTC Chair Lina Khan's 2017 law review article kicked off a new era of government antitrust regulation, and why the FTC's 2023 monopoly lawsuit against Amazon could be one of the largest antitrust cases of the 21st century.
