Description
Purchase Winner Sells All: https://bookshop.org/lists/re-something-interesting-book-list?Welcome to RE: Something Interesting, The Realignment's new Saturday podcast focused on more casual conversations about American culture and society with people who've released something worth diving into. Today's guest is the journalist Jason Del Rey, author of Winner Sells All: Amazon, Walmart, and the Battle for Our Wallets. Marshall and Jason discuss a listener's question about the state of Black Friday given the decline of in-person shopping, how the rivalry between Amazon and Walmart redefined the shopping experience, why both struggled with their in-person and online experiences, and why many of their efforts and startups they acquired during the 2010s floundered.
