Those "free market" ideologues who keep insisting that there's no such
thing as a corporate class war being waged against the workaday people
of our country –
might want to take a look at the Bronx Terminal Market in New York City
for a classic example.
This market is free enterprise in action. Some two dozen very unique,
independent merchants sell their foodstuffs here, drawing customers from
as far away as Ohio.
If you're looking for Ghanaian smoked shrimp, hot Jamaican peppers, or
Philippine sea moss, the Bronx market is your mother lode. These
merchants are hard-working
folks who start their days in the wee hours, providing the largest
clearinghouse of ethnic foods on the East Coast.
