Amazon is Just Sears 2.0

Think Amazon’s two-day shipping is a modern miracle? Think again. This episode of Critical Path tears apart the history of the original logistics empire: Sears Roebuck. From Richard Sears inventing drop-shipping with unwanted watches to the 1906 Chicago tower that functioned as a physical computer using gravity chutes, we reveal how the supply chain skeleton used today was actually built over a century ago. Join us as we explore how Sears built the "Everything Store" long before Bezos, and why Amazon’s recent move into physical retail proves that history is just repeating itself.
