The TRUTH About Zohran’s Supermarkets

In this video, Spencer Snyder discusses the forgotten history of public markets, the role of the Robinson-Patman Act in keeping chains in check, and how deregulation in the 1980s fueled today’s food deserts. 

Along the way, we also explore how the U.S. grocery system compared to the Soviet Union — with insights from leading historians Julie Hessler and Wendy Goldman.
