Come to the Library for a presentation by Austin Frerick, author of "Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry."
In "Barons," agricultural and antitrust expert Frerick tells the stories of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the ramifications for everyone else. Frerick paints a stark portrait of the consequences of corporate consolidation, but also shows that we can choose a different path.
