The Sushi Economy by Sasha Issenberg

The Sushi Economy by Sasha Issenberg

Journalist Sash Issenberg traces sushi's journey from Tokyo street snack to global delicacy, in this fascinating history. Issenberg examines not just the foodstuff itself, but the history, economics and businesses behind the famous fish recipes. It covers topics including the birth of modern sushi, the mysterious underworld of pirates and the tuna black market, Nobu Matsuhisa and what sushi chefs really do behind the bar. It jumps from Mediterranean docks to tuna-auctions to cargo holds to Shanghai streets, all the while making a surprising case against eating local.

The Victory Lab: The Hidden Science of Winning Campaigns (2012) and The Sushi Economy: Globalization and the Creation of a Modern Delicacy (2007) are both written by Sasha Issenberg. He is the Washington correspondent for Monocle and a Bloomberg Politics contributor. As a national political correspondent for The Boston Globe in 2008, he covered the election, and as a columnist for Slate in 2012, he covered the election. He's also contributed to The New Republic, The New York Times Magazine, and George. He lives in Los Angeles and works as a resident scholar at UCLA's Department of Political Science.
