What was a bigger/badder thing for America?
Big Box Stores
Dotcom/Tech
This question and the answers for it are both complicated and stupid and I have a totally different take on the matter.

It's true that they practiced predatory business tactics to drive small business out of the market though. That's pretty obvious.

And I'm not just talking about having cheaper prices, I'm talking about operating at a loss and selling items below cost just to drive out competition (exactly what Amazon has done to many small businesses operated by Americans online).

Are you suggesting America is a capitalist society??
