  • Amazon's Antitrust Paradox

    Amazon's Antitrust Paradox

    LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible.

    1 Statement of Justin Brookman Director, Privacy and Technology Policy Consumers Union Before the House Subcommittee on Digital

    Statement of Justin Brookman Director, Privacy and Technology Policy Consumers Union Before the House Subcommittee on Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection Understanding the Digital Advertising Ecosystem June 14, 2018 On behalf of Consumers Union, I want to thank you for the opportunity to testify today. We appreciate the leadership of Chairman Latta and Ranking Member Schakowsky in holding today’s hearing to explore the digital advertising ecosystem and how digital advertisements affect Americans. I appear here today on behalf of Consumers Union, the advocacy division of Consumer Reports, an independent, nonprofit, organization that works side by side with consumers to create a fairer, safer, and healthier world.1 1 Consumer Reports is the world’s largest independent product-testing organization. It conducts its advocacy work in the areas of privacy, telecommunications, financial services, food and product safety, health care, among other areas. Using its dozens of labs, auto test center, and survey research department, the nonprofit organization rates thousands of products and services annually. Founded in 1936, Consumer Reports has over 7 million members and publishes its magazine, website, and other publications. 1 Executive Summary My testimony today is divided into three parts. First, I describe some of the many ways that the digital advertising ecosystem has gotten more complex in recent years, leaving consumers with little information or agency over how to safeguard their privacy. Consumers are no longer just tracked through cookies in a web browser: instead, companies are developing a range of novel techniques to monitor online behavior and to tie that to what consumers do on other devices and in the physical world.

  • The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, by James Gleick

    The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, by James Gleick

    16. Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, by James Gleick From the author of the national bestseller Chaos comes an outstanding biography of one of the most dazzling and flamboyant scientists of the 20th century that "not only paints a highly attractive portrait of Feynman but also . makes for a stimulating adventure in the annals of science" 15. “Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman!” by Richard Feynman and Ralph Leighton Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric―a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah. 14. D Day – Through German Eyes, The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944, by Holger Eckhertz Almost all accounts of D Day are told from the Allied perspective, with the emphasis on how German resistance was overcome on June 6th 1944. But what was it like to be a German soldier in the bunkers and gun emplacements of the Normandy coast, facing the onslaught of the mightiest seaborne invasion in history? What motivated the German defenders, what were their thought processes - and how did they fight from one strong point to another, among the dunes and fields, on that first cataclysmic day? What were their experiences on facing the tanks, the flamethrowers and the devastating air superiority of the Allies? This book sheds fascinating light on these questions, bringing together statements made by German survivors after the war, when time had allowed them to reflect on their state of mind, their actions and their choices of June 6th.

  • Conspiracy of Fools”

    Conspiracy of Fools”

    Submitted version of review published in GARP Risk Review Review of “Conspiracy of Fools” Joe Pimbley Kurt Eichenwald’s Conspiracy of Fools (Broadway Books, 2005) is a spellbinding account of the rise and fall of Enron. In nearly 700 pages the reader finds answers to “what happened?” and “how did it happen?” Based on retrospective interviews with more than a hundred primary and secondary actors in this drama, the author creates multiple, parallel story lines. He jumps back and forth between these sub-plots in a manner that maintains energy and gives the reader many natural stopping points. The great strengths of Conspiracy are that it’s thorough, extremely well- written, captivating, and, finally, it rings true. The author avoids the easy, simple conclusions that all the executives are “guilty” of crimes or plain greed and that the media-lionized whistle-blower is pure of heart. We see the ultimate outcome as personal tragedies for Jeff Skilling (President) and Ken Lay (CEO) even though they are undeniably culpable. Culpability and guilt are not synonymous, however, and different readers will have widely different judgments to render on these two men. The view of Andrew Fastow is not so murky. He and a handful of his associates did indeed lie, cheat, and steal for personal gain. Fastow’s principle “contribution” to Enron was the creation of structured finance transactions to skirt accounting rules. This one-sentence description doesn’t tell the reader much. Eichenwald gives many examples to flesh out the concept. The story of “Alpine Investors” provides the simplest case. The company wished to sell the Zond Corporation, a wind-farm operator, prior to the closing of Enron’s purchase of Portland General.

    Good Bad Jack Welch Best Books 2005

    BEST GE, Wal-Mart, or whoever else’s BOOKS05 corporate garden is currently in bloom. And managers themselves frequently arrange their financial reporting to exhibit “flowers of success” that later turn out to be rootless and unsustainable. In the worst cases, such as Enron, the blossoms turn out to be entirely artificial. Similar charges could be leveled at those most ardent of flower arrangers: writers of books on manage- ment. Too often, their books depict managers as lone actors in generic landscapes, whose methods and tech- niques can be freely transferred from one corporate situation to another. Yet if we are to learn from the expe- rience of others, surely we have to understand their thoughts and actions in the particular situations in which they found themselves. When it comes to human action of any kind, context matters. f e Each of the five books reviewed in this essay under- a t u scores the importance of context in business, though in r e different ways and from very different perspectives. The s b first two, Winning (HarperBusiness, 2005), by Jack e s t Welch with Suzy Welch, and Will Your Next Mistake Be b u Fatal?
