Reviews

Baics has produced one of the year's most original books with this analysis of food markets in New York City in the decades up to the civil war. His account of how New York moved from tight regulation to free-market provisioning is well-organised and full of insights. --Tony Barber, Financial Times Best Books of 2016: History
