## Resource

Have you noticed how much more you’re now paying for that burger or steak? The cost of meat in the United States is soaring. Demand for meat is up, but for some reason, cattle herds are shrinking, ranchers are going out of business, and the industry is facing some serious trouble. Behind it all may be something bigger. A cartel is being accused of effectively causing these problems artificially – using a global monopoly to set prices and squeeze the industry.
