of
Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry:
"Not a book I found myself speeding through or eagerly picking back up, but only because it was extremely well-researched and dismaying to learn from. Have to buy, if only to utilize the insane bibliography. Disappointing conclusion but not unexpected"

“The Reiter brothers built their fortune on water-intensive farming that can’t be sustained. But what elevated them to baron status was shifting production onto others and dodging responsibility for the havoc it causes. They are a pair of barons that only the twenty-first century could have created.”

“once you start looking, you can find concentrated industries everywhere in the American economy. In 2016, the Economist collected data on almost a thousand industries and found that market concentration increased in nearly two-thirds of them over a fifteen-year period.”

“One former Walmart Supercenter in Brownsville, Texas, became the center of a national debate when it was bought by a firm detaining migrant children.”
