Has Amazon Contributed to America’s Political Unraveling? | Amanpour and Company

Amazon is the second most trusted institution in the U.S., surpassed only by the military, according to a Georgetown and New York University poll. What can the company's disproportionate influence mean for American society? This is the subject of a new book from award-winning journalist Alec MacGillis. In "Fulfillment," he examines the company’s impact on the wealth and poverty of towns and cities across the country. He speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about what lies behind that easy one-click purchase.
