Amazon argues that it empowered small and medium-sized businesses to generate hundreds of billions of dollars in sales last year.
A new coalition of small business groups on Tuesday launched a campaign for tougher US antitrust enforcement, specifically calling for the breakup of online commerce titan Amazon.
The Small Business Rising group includes the American Booksellers Association, National Grocers Association and a number of local and regional business organizations.
