Like many other behemoth US companies, Amazon has taken dubious shortcuts to its position as leader... Anti-employment wage suppression in its distribution and shipping, wilfully facilitating counterfeit product sales, regional tax breaks, and perhaps the biggest multiplier - the stock market and its ability to allow leverage upon leverage.

We are seeing an excellent example of modern American capitalism.

What is particularly American about the capitalism being shown here? Honest question: are other countries better?
