Cornered: the new monopoly capitalism and the economics of destruction

Many Americans were surprised to hear automakers say they were all interconnected, since only one company made all their windshields or doors or bumpers. They were also surprised when a single contaminated source of pet food, peanut butter, or produce shuts down an entire line of products across all brands, generic to luxury brand. Economics writer Barry C. Lynn was not surprised, though. In this book he explains that many of the problems we've been taught to blame on globalization, actually come from letting one or two companies control an entire industry, whether it's vitamins, sunglasses, food, cars, steel, credits cards, bottled water, or computers.
