SUMMARY:Alec MacGillis Pro Publica reporter discusses Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning investigative journalist Alec MacGillis joins us to discuss his new book\, Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America (FSG)\, a deep investigation into Amazon’s business practices and the historic and economic roots of our increasingly stratified society. \n“Alec MacGillis is one of the very best reporters in America. By always going his own way\, he finds stories and truths that others avoid. Fulfillment paints a devastating picture of Amazon\, but it also gives human voices to the larger story of our unequal economy and society. Fulfillment is an essential book in the literature of America’s self-destruction.” —George Packer\, author of the National Book Award–winning The Unwinding \nThis event will be streamed on Crowdcast. \nREGISTRATION INFO coming soon. \nAbout Fulfillment\nAn award-winning journalist investigates Amazon’s impact on the wealth and poverty of towns and cities across the United States. \nIn 1937\, the famed writer and activist Upton Sinclair published a novel bearing the subtitle A Story of Ford-America. He blasted the callousness of a company worth “a billion dollars” that underpaid its workers while forcing them to engage in repetitive and sometimes dangerous assembly line labor. Eighty-three years later\, the market capitalization of Amazon.com has exceeded one trillion dollars\, while the value of the Ford Motor Company hovers around thirty billion. We have\, it seems\, entered the age of one-click America—and as the coronavirus makes Americans more dependent on online shopping\, its sway will only intensify. \nAlec MacGillis’s Fulfillment is not another inside account or exposé of our most conspicuously dominant company. Rather\, it is a literary investigation of the America that falls within that company’s growing shadow. As MacGillis shows\, Amazon’s sprawling network of delivery hubs\, data centers\, and corporate campuses epitomizes a land where winner and loser cities and regions are drifting steadily apart\, the civic fabric is unraveling\, and work has become increasingly rudimentary and isolated. \nRanging across the country\, MacGillis tells the stories of those who’ve thrived and struggled to thrive in this rapidly changing environment. In Seattle\, high-paid workers in new office towers displace a historic black neighborhood. In suburban Virginia\, homeowners try to protect their neighborhood from the environmental impact of a new data center. Meanwhile\, in El Paso\, small office supply firms seek to weather Amazon’s takeover of government procurement\, and in Baltimore a warehouse supplants a fabled steel plant. Fulfillment also shows how Amazon has become a force in Washington\, D.C.\, ushering readers through a revolving door for lobbyists and government contractors and into CEO Jeff Bezos’s lavish Kalorama mansion. \nWith empathy and breadth\, MacGillis demonstrates the hidden human costs of the other inequality—not the growing gap between rich and poor\, but the gap between the country’s winning and losing regions. The result is an intimate account of contemporary capitalism: its drive to innovate\, its dark\, pitiless magic\, its remaking of America with every click. \nAbout Alec MacGillis\nAlec MacGillis is a senior reporter for ProPublica and the recipient of the George Polk Award\, the Robin Toner prize\, and other honors. He worked previously at The Washington Post\, Baltimore Sun\, and The New Republic\, and his journalism has appeared in The New York Times Magazine\, The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, and other publications. His ProPublica reporting on Dayton\, Ohio was the basis of a PBS Frontline documentary about the city. He is the author of The Cynic\, a 2014 biography of Mitch McConnell. He lives in Baltimore.
