This thought-provoking, accessible book examines the dominant food regime on its own terms, by asking whether we can afford cheap food and by exploring what exactly cheap food affords us. The book is essential reading for those interested in critical food studies, food and agriculture and a sustainable and socially just food system.

Marvin is a contract hog farmer in Iowa. He owns his land, his barn, his tractor, and his animal crates. He has seen profits drop steadily for the last twenty years and feels trapped. Josh is a dairy farmer on a cooperative in Massachusetts. He doesn’t own his cows, his land, his seed, or even all of his equipment. Josh has a healthy income and feels like he’s made it. In The Food Sharing Revolution, Michael Carolan tells the stories of traditional producers like Marvin, who are being squeezed by big agribusiness, and entrepreneurs like Josh, who are bucking the corporate food system. The difference is Josh has eschewed the burdens of individual ownership and is tapping into the sharing economy. Josh and many others are sharing tractors, seeds, kitchen space, their homes, and their cultures. They are business owners like Dorothy, who opened her bakery with the help of a no-interest, crowd-sourced loan. They are chefs like Camilla, who introduces diners to her native Colombian cuisine through peer-to-peer meal sharing. Their success is not only good for aspiring producers, but for everyone who wants an alternative to monocrops and processed foods. The key to successful sharing, Carolan shows, is actually sharing. He warns that food, just like taxis or hotels, can be co-opted by moneyed interests. But when collaboration is genuine, the sharing economy can offer both producers and eaters freedom, even sovereignty. The result is a healthier, more sustainable, and more ethical way to eat.

Pensez-vous réellement faire une bonne affaire lorsque vous achetez des produits à prix cassés ? Dans cet ouvrage captivant, Michael Carolan nous invite à y réfléchir en nous montrant clairement que le caractère bon marché des biens et services est une illusion basée sur la "socialisation" des coûts. Le coût réel des bas prix est en fait - et de façon alarmante - élevé, et nous en payons tous au final le prix... pas lors de l'achat, mais sous forme de cotisations sociales qui permettent de compenser la faiblesse de certains salaires, sous forme de dégradation de l'environnement ou de la santé publique, ou encore d'exploitation des travailleurs dans certains pays à bas salaires. Michael Carolan démontre ici brillamment que cette socialisation des risques et des coûts dans les économies de marché modernes est une source de dysfonctionnement majeure, et l'illustre de nombreux exemples pris dans l'industrie informatique, le secteur automobile, l'agroalimentaire, etc. Il nous faut, d'après lui, impérativement changer de trajectoire, pour trouver une meilleure source de bien-être, apporter davantage de justice sociale et une approche équilibrée de la prospérité. Véritable outil pédagogique, l'ouvrage s'adresse à tous : consommateurs, producteurs, citoyens, politiciens... car les sujets traités nous concernent dans notre vie quotidienne. Un livre salvateur, à mettre entre toutes les mains !
