Amazon is everywhere, from your doorstep to outer space. So, what is the current state of the Everything Store? This week on Everybody's Business, hosts Max Chafkin and Stacey Vanek Smith look at the company that is more utility than retailer with Bloomberg Businessweek editor-in-chief Brad Stone. Plus, have you wondered why the stock market has been doing so well even though lots of things don't seem to be going great at home or abroad? Author and economic commentator Kyla Scanlon explains why the record highs keep coming even as oil prices double and the job market is at a standstill. And: a special guest gives us an underrated story that makes the case for booing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
