1. Tescopoly
How One Shop Came Out on Top and Why it Matters
A critique of the market dominance of the UK supermarket Tesco, showing how its aggressive expansion reshapes towns and high streets, squeezes farmers and suppliers, erodes worker rights, and drives environmental harms through long supply chains. It details the company’s political influence and manipulation of planning rules, arguing that such concentrated retail power limits real consumer choice and damages local economies. The work calls for tougher regulation, fairer trading practices, and community-led alternatives to rebalance the food system.
