This book will help you understand how corporations took over everything
Joel Salatin's book "Everything I Want to Do is Illegal"
If you’ve ever been curious about how large multinational corporations managed to consolidate their market share over so many domains in life, I’ve got the book for you.
It’s Everything I Want to Do is Illegal, by Joel Salatin.1
On the face of it, Salatin’s book appears to be on a rather niche topic: how government regulations have made things harder for a small farmer to thrive.
But what it discusses has far-reaching consequences, and it will show you much about what has gone wrong in modern life.
It goes into specifics of how government regulations have hurt small farmers or mom and pop shops, and have rigged things in favor of large corporations.
I thought that this book was so important to understand, that I decided to provide a summary of it:
I was also struck by how many parallels there were with what we saw during the tyrannical COVID era.
Before public health was co-opted by large pharmaceutical and bureaucratic interests, all the same things were happening in agriculture.

Joel Salatin, by the way, is a regenerative farmer who was featured in the book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
