Amazon is remaking America, retail store to factory floor.
It started with that shopping website. Grew by shipping other companies' stuff cheap, from all those upstate warehouses (now hiring, at US$12 (RM41) an hour, for the Christmas rush). Built Amazon Web Services, tying corporate software to everybody's smartphones. Added new outposts, in towns such as West Chester, King of Prussia and Langhorne, for next-day deliveries of a growing list of Amazon's own products and its newly acquired Whole Foods groceries.
