Supermarket USA
Food and Power in the Cold War Farms Race
Book • 2022
This book explores how supermarkets, invented in the United States, were used as anticommunist weapons during the Cold War. It details the 'farms race' between the United States and the Soviet Union, where the superpowers competed to show that their approaches to food production and distribution were best suited for an abundant future.
The proliferation of supermarkets has shaped our current food system, transforming U.S.
food power into a global system of market power, with transnational supermarkets operating as powerful institutions in a global food economy.
