Issue #4: Amazon's Business Giant
11th February, 2026In honour of Valentine's Day, let's talk about a business we all LOVE- Amazon! Amazon's business model began as an online bookstore in 1995 and has grown into a global leader across e-commerce, cloud computing, and digital services. Profits flood in year after year, but how does this giant manage to stay on top all these years? In this issue, I'll be exploring, through an economic lens, how Amazon does business; where it earns from, strategies, impact, and most importantly, what does it do to dominate so many industries?

Just a teenager who loves money! I was really interested in Business and Economics from a young age, and so I decided to start a blog recording my discoveries about economic trends. I created this blog, I own and control all of its assets, and I write and manage this blog. I hope I can encourage others to stay curious about whatever they love through this project. Other than Economics, I'm a book-girly, I love designing stuff on the computer, and I’m an intermediate level in French, and fluent in English and Hindi. I also play the guitar and I like to indulge myself every once in a while, eating brownies in a mug while watching Netflix.

Just a teenage girlie! I chose Economics because I found it really interesting, not just business, but more on a global scale, understanding how different decisions affect an economy. I’m the Book Recs Editor for this blog, which I think fits me perfectly as someone who’s always been obsessed with reading. I’ve read many books ever since I was a little girl, and even now, I still spend most of my time with a book in hand. I’m Indonesian, born in Indonesia, but I grew up most of my life in England, which explains my accent that people usually find very shocking at first. I can speak a bit of Spanish, French, and Arabic. Outside of reading and Economics, I play the piano whenever I feel like it, and I enjoy writing poems and stories whenever an idea comes to me, though I don’t really share them often.

I’m drawn to economics for its analysis of decision-making, risk, and incentives behind every policy and market outcome. Having studied business at school, I enjoy evaluating real-world issues through economic reasoning. As Opinion Piece Editor, I focus on clear arguments, balanced perspectives, and evidence-based opinions. Outside writing, I play the piano, learn algorithms and code, and engage with strategy games like Victoria 3 and EU5, which reinforce my economic thinking beyond textbooks.

Hi, this is your average human surviving on planet Earth! People who know me know I love to talk, and I think that’s what drives my true passion for communication through a million channels, speeches, blogs, videos, poems, essays, research, and what not. During all of this, I discovered something fascinating: the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, economics! Learning about the hidden entities behind money, jobs, trade, influence, and power dynamics truly enchants me. Combining both my passions, I became the polls and surveys writer, and the media manager for this blog. Apart from all this, I truly enjoy reading from realistic fiction to high fantasy, give me all! Lastly, but not least, I do identify as an avid victim of social media and the internet, and if it were up to me, I could probably spend my whole day shifting from Instagram to TikTok to Netflix.
