Your grocery store isn’t as capitalist as you think

Capitalism’s failure manifests itself in modern grocery stores. The premise of capitalism suggests rigorous and free competition among companies will lower prices, increase innovation and raise wages for most people. By balancing supply and demand, capitalism seeks to ensure people are paying the lowest possible price. But corporate consolidation has only created an illusion of competition, and it has prevented prices from flowing naturally. The modern grocery store is only posing as a free capitalist marketplace.
