| Sommario/riassunto: | Austin Frerick's 'Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry' examines the monopolistic practices within the American food industry and their wide-reaching impacts. The book delves into various sectors dominated by a few corporations, such as meatpacking, dairy, and grocery, showcasing the detrimental effects on worker rights, animal welfare, and rural communities. Frerick, leveraging his expertise in antitrust policy and agricultural economics, presents a compelling narrative on the need for reform in the food system. The book targets policymakers, environmental advocates, and concerned citizens, aiming to highlight the urgency of addressing corporate concentration in the food industry. |
