Présentation A Billion Dollars A Day de E.Wesley F. Peterson
- Livre
Résumé : This text provides a good narrative on the economics of government intervention, the structure of the world food system and history of the WTO, and the provision of farm subsidies by developed economies, with a special focus on the U.S. and EU. This extremely well-researched and documented book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact (both intentional and unintentional) that developed nations' agricultural policies can have on underdeveloped agricultural-based nations. This text's discussion and explanation of subsidies is well developed in a historical and international context that is not found elsewhere. Peterson has done a nice job of taking complicated issues and explaining them in a manner that is understandable for students with limited background in policy, development, and trade. This well-written text brings both a U.S. and a world perspective to the timely and important topics of government farm policy and food prices. Why do Europe, the United States, and some key Asian countries spend, in aggregate, a billion dollars a day on various agricultural price supports, when much of this money ends up in the hands of large agribusiness? In a lively, non-technical, and up-to-date account, this book addresses the core questions that surround the issues of agricultural subsidies. Peterson provides a detailed examination of subsidy histories and the current policies of the United States, various European countries, Australia and New Zealand, and Korea and Japan. Also included is a discussion of how these policies affect developing countries - examining, in particular, their impact on farmers in low-income countries....
