- A4ET8a8uTh0 7y agoI will admit that I am not sure I do understand your argument. For the record, I am never happy about too much power residing in too few hands. It rarely ends well. But neither Walmart, Kmart, nor Sears had as big of a grip on US economy as Amazon does simply, because Amazon is not just a giant online store. It is not apples to apples comparison. It is possible I am misunderstanding what you are trying to say. Care to elaborate?

Sears' mail order catalog was essentially the pre-Internet Amazon, and commanded a comparable scale.
