Abstract
It has been at least 40 years since two books hankering after popular acclaim have been written about antitrust. James Lieber focuses on perhaps the greatest price fixing trial of the late 20th century - the government's conviction of three top executives of Archer Daniels Midland, "Supermarket to the World." Kurt Eichenwald tells the tale of the FBI's twisted four-year probe of ADM aided by an insider dubbed "Pinocchio with a Ph.D." Come and see what the high-income bracket in Decatur, Illinois is reading these days.
