I encourage you to read "The Merchants War" by Fredrick Pohl

  Which is a sequel to 'the space merchants'. And I really wonder why that got you modded down, it's perfectly on-topic.

    It was modded down, probably because if you haven't read this book (which I haven't), the suggestion is unsupported and means little - why should I read it?

      The space merchants and the merchants war deal with a society that has 'overshot' in commerce, basically there are only two brands left. And one of the central themes is 'chicken little', a vat grown pile of blubbering cancerous chicken meat that gets 'sliced' off at the edges.
