Negative Positive
Title: Great journalism, poor economic analysis
Review: Eric Schlosser does a phenomenal job of recounting and reporting - he is at heart a journalist. However, once the book moves beyond straight reporting, and makes an attempt at economic analysis, that's where the book falls apart. Mr. Schlosser, unfortunately, is not a trained economist. The book provides wonderful anecdotes and brings to life conditions in the fast food industry. Unfortunately, the author doesn't know enough about economics to properly put his anecdotes and reporting into proper context.
