The Secret History of Everyday Objects

In this episode, we take a look at sugar from a political economic perspective. Sugar isn't unique, but it does have an existing book about it: Sweetness and Power by Sidney Mintz. How does a rare and labor-intensive commodity become so ubiquitous as to have avoiding it become a status signal? And what does this tell us about the visibility (or invisibility) of systems?
