Please join my colleague, Bob Leonard, Deep Midwest: Politics and Culture columnist, and me as we talk to author Austin Frerick about, Barons, Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry.

From the press kit:

“In this eye-opening debut study, Frerick, an agricultural policy fellow at Yale University, reveals the ill-gained stranglehold that a handful of companies have on America’s food economy…It’s a disquieting critique of private monopolization of public necessities.”
