German families in the 60s loved tasty, cheap American-raised chicken that was suddenly coming in after the war. And Americans were loving fun, cheap Volkswagen Beetles. This arrangement was too good to last.
Today on the show, how a trade dispute over frozen chicken parts changed the American auto industry as we know it.
