You know how ride-hail companies promised to let you know the fare in advance to avoid surprises? Well... I was quoted $30, and the final price was $55. You can request an automated adjustment to the original quote, but they hope you don't notice.

"Why are food prices out of control? | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich ft. Michael Pollan" [30:01 min]

Today we have a special guest to help us understand why food prices continue to go through the roof — Michael Pollan. Pollan is author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, How to Change Your Mind, The Botany of Desire, and other books. He and Eric Schlosser (whose new piece in The Atlantic, “Do We Really Want a Food Cartel?” is also a must-read), are just out with a new documentary, Food Inc. 2, which explains how giant corporations have taken over what we eat.
We’ve asked Michael to tell us what steps we can take — as consumers and citizens — to take back our own nutrition."

Robert Reich @rbrecich@mast.ai on the consequences of #capitalism without guardrails and the empirical evidence disproving expectations of Chicago School #trickledowneconomics. We *need* #antitrust b/c capitalism w/o guardrails is nothing more than winner-take-all private #rentierism. (Rentierism = profits above what a well functioning market would allocate. Profits from #pricegauging," for example, are an example of this kind of "economic rent.")
