Frerick does a great, readable, well-cited job laying out the history and effects of corporate consolidation in US food systems, and a nice quick job at the end laying out possible remedies, but like everything else I’m always left wanting more investigation into who and what is actually preventing those obvious remedies from enactment.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
