  • Summary

  • In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think., we interview Austin Frerick, an expert on agricultural and antitrust policy, and the author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry.

    The book uses the idea of “barons”—individuals and families who have surprising, outsized control in the food industry—to share the danger that monopoly poses not only to our food system but to our democracy. Frerick’s compelling book tells the stories of our industrial food system braided with accessible threads on the history of antitrust policy, agriculture and more, while offering some hopeful solutions to the seemingly intractable problem of corporate consolidation.
