Summary

As American consumers watch Walmart+ and Amazon Prime go head-to-head in a battle for our wallets this July, we take a look at the historic rivalry between the corporate behemoths.  In this edition, we dive into how Walmart and Amazon have fought to dominate all aspects of American retail over the last two decades, in our conversation with business journalist Jason Del Rey. His new book, Winner Sells All, takes us inside the competition starting with Amazon as a small online upstart, to Walmart’s wake-up-call that the internet was important, to Amazon tripling the rival in size.  Among the topics: We talk about the battle, how Amazon revolutionized consumer expectations, where the competition stands, what it has meant for small business in America, and what is next. – *Leave us a voicemail with your news questions for us to answer : 1-800-711-MOSH* – – Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
