It's back to the future for JBS

摘要

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. While it may be true that change is inevitable, it's also true that change isn't a synonym for new. Ideasget recycled. The past is relived. Many times though, we don't realize when history is happening again. The JBS-Swift purchase of National and Smithfield Beef is more than just further consolidation of the beef industry. It's evidence that the past is the best predictor of the future.
