He shows how they built a system that puts farmers on the edge of bankruptcy, charges high prices to consumers, and returns the industry to the shape it had in the 1900s before the meat monopolists were broken up. At the dawn of the 21st century, the greatest capitalist country in the world has an oligarchy controlling much of the food we eat and a high-tech sharecropping system to make that possible. These companies are even able to raise meat prices for consumers while pushing down the price they pay to farmers. We know that it takes big companies to bring meat to the American table. What The Meat Racket shows is that this industrial system is rigged against all of us." -- From publisher description. 000706255 546__ $$aText in English. 000706255 61020 $$aTyson (Firm) 000706255 650_0 $$aMeat industry and trade$$zUnited States. 000706255 650_0 $$aInvestigative reporting. 000706255 85200 $$bgen$$hHD9415$$i.L46$$i2014 000706255 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1403/2013040588-b.html 000706255 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1403/2013040588-d.html 000706255 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:706255$$pGLOBAL_SET 000706255 980__ $$aBIB 000706255 980__ $$aBOOK
