Borders was one of the country's most popular bookstores when it filed for bankruptcy in 2011. This video attempts to explain why they failed while many others, including Barnes & Nobel, live on. Note: This video was completed in April 2020, and is being released today as part of the channel's 6-year anniversary celebration.
