Will Amazon Kill Off Publishers?

"At the end of the day, all that Amazon is doing is this: helping readers and writers find each other."

I like this idea.

Will Amazon Kill Off Publishers? Not the big ones. Did Apple kill off record companies? Not the big ones. Did Walmart kill off the other merchants? Not the big ones.

Large companies at some point suffocate the smaller ones. The big fish eat the little fish and there is talk of the government needing to step in and trust bust. Then the little fish comes along that can outdo the big fish and the big fish gets hurt and the little fish propagate again. This is the circle of life in capitalism, and there is nothing wrong with it.

People would benefit from studying history, but I don't think that "history of business" is taught. It should be.
