The next-order network perturbation

DateTuesday, June 3, 2008 at 2:27AM

INTERVIEW: "David Hightower on the Explosion in Commodities Markets," by Maria Bartiromo, BusinessWeek, 26 May 2008, p. 021.

Rising Asia gets you rising energy costs, which contribute to the rise in food costs, which soon enough (as in, next year) will help drive high meat (beef and pork) costs.

Why? Price of feed to the animals goes up, so farmers reduce their herds.
