Inside Amazon: Who pays the price? (www.dw.com)

Amazon attracts customers with low prices - but according to a former manager at the company, the reason for this is not what consumers might think. She claims that the company's aim is not to give customers fair deals but to put retailers and manufacturers under enormous pressure. This investigative documentary reveals the questionable methods used by the company: suppliers are prevented from selling their products below the Amazon-listed price - whether that be online or in a physical store. Insiders say that this practice not only distorts competition, but also has direct consequences for customers in the form of price rises.

Bezos’ mantra is cut, cut, cut and squeeze. Everything and everyone. Then ask for more. He’s the kind of guy who searches the backpacks of office workers on the way out, even when they’re being paid $200k a year. There’s middle managers all around the world who look at him as an idol. They’re awful people.

Saved this for later.
