Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grocery shopping is an often ignored part of the story of how food ultimately gets to our pantry shelves and tables. A Theory of Grocery Shopping explores the social organization of grocery shopping by linking the lived experience of grocery shoppers and retail managers in the US with information transmitted by nutritionists, government employees, financial advisors, journalists, health care providers and marketers, who influence the way we think about and perform the work of shopping for a household's food. The author provides insight into the contradictory messages that shape how consumers provision their households, and details how consumers respond to these messages. The book challenges the consumer choice model that places responsibility on the shopper for making the "right" choice at the grocery store, thereby ignoring the larger social forces at work, which determine what products are available and how they get to the shelves.

Book excerpt: Thie book describes how the theory of Nash Equilibrium described in the 27-page 1950 doctoral dissertation of John Nash, who spent over 40 years in a schizophrenic fog. Eventually economists discovered his work, and realized that it was a replacement for capitalism, in which lying was not permitted. The internet made this utopian scenario a real possiblity. In 1994, Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work with Nash Equilibrium. The author, an economist who studied at Rice University, describes how Nash Equilibrium could solve difficult problems in the "free market", which can only exist if Nash Equilibrium can be achieved: Topics include health care, crime prevention and rehabilitation, full employment, education, civility, and democracy. The equivalency of the outcomes of Nash Equilibrium and of Artificial Intelligence is examined, demonstrating that this is a technology that has already arrived; it's not science fiction. Using a new Internet protocol - HTTPV (the 'V' is for 'Verify') which essentially fact-checks websites and only displays their content if they survive a fact-checking verification step, each of these difficult problems can be dealt with in such a way as to ensure justice. In particular, ignorant voters will never again be allowed to elect an ignorant fool as President. The free market has failed us, as has democracy. Full disclosure of all relevant information, and using only facts to come to a decision, are the keys to dealing successfully with the most serious problems in our civilization. The author hopes that this book will start a dialog about how to fix our broken world.

Within the last five years, grocery e-commerce has experienced both consistent successes such as Tesco.com and irrevocable failures such as Webvan.com.

Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author “digs deep into the world of how we shop and how we eat. It’s a marvelous, smart, revealing work” (Susan Orlean, #1 bestselling author). In a culture obsessed with food—how it looks, what it tastes like, where it comes from, what is good for us—there are often more questions than answers. Ruhlman proposes that the best practices for consuming wisely could be hiding in plain sight—in the aisles of your local supermarket. Using the human story of the family-run Midwestern chain Heinen’s as an anchor to this journalistic narrative, he dives into the mysterious world of supermarkets and the ways in which we produce, consume, and distribute food. Grocery examines how rapidly supermarkets—and our food and culture—have changed since the days of your friendly neighborhood grocer. But rather than waxing nostalgic for the age of mom-and-pop shops, Ruhlman seeks to understand how our food needs have shifted since the mid-twentieth century, and how these needs mirror our cultural ones. A mix of reportage and rant, personal history and social commentary, Grocery is a landmark book from one of our most insightful food writers. “Anyone who has ever walked into a grocery store or who has ever cooked food from a grocery store or who has ever eaten food from a grocery store must read Grocery. It is food journalism at its best and I’m so freakin’ jealous I didn’t write it.” —Alton Brown, television personality “If you care about why we eat what we eat—and you want to do something about it—you need to read this absorbing, beautifully written book.” —Ruth Reichl, New York Times–bestselling author
