Beak Capitalism: What Chicken Tells Us About Inflation

What can the humble chicken reveal about the economic conditions shaping our lives? Turns out, a lot.

Understanding the chicken industry can help explain some of the thorniest issues facing the US economy. In “Beak Capitalism,” a new three-part series, Odd Lots hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway trace chicken from the farm to the factory to the table.

In the first episode, they examine the consumer side of the industry – including the chicken sandwiches war back in 2019 and the rising cost of eggs.
