Decoder with Nilay Patel‘The Goliath is Amazon’: after 100 years, Barnes & Noble wants to go back to its indie rootsIn this installment of our Centennial Series on companies that are over 100 years old, we are talking to Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt.

After years of closures and declining revenues, Barnes & Noble was bought out by activist investors in 2019, who installed Daunt as CEO, and he’s managed to turn things a...
