Alec MacGillis on Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America

Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

(4/8/21) ProPublica reporter Alec MacGillis’s new book Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America is not another inside account from a former Amazon employee or exposé of the dominant company in the country. Rather, it is an investigation of the America that falls within Amazon’s growing shadow. As MacGillis shows, Amazon epitomizes a land where winner and loser cities and regions are drifting steadily apart while work has become increasingly rudimentary and isolated. Join us for a look at who’s thriving and who’s struggling to make ends meet in this rapidly changing economy in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
