    As the depression hit and foreign egg demand fell, domestic producers formed an egg-purchasing cartel to hold down prices and output. During Japanese occupation, Mitsui joined the cartel as well. In 1949, boycotts of China caused the cartel to fall apart.

    I'm digging in and apparently eggs (frozen, dried, powdered, albumin) were a major chinese export—mostly to europe/US, for baking and confectionary. In the early 1900s, there was a vibrant competition between vertically integrated chinese producers and multinationals.

    probably no piece has been as influential on me in the last few years as this one: It elevates the acts of unbundling and rebundling to a holy sacrament. I bow at the altar of rebundling, for it is the highest act of civilization.
