Paul Streeten

Chapter 16 in What Price Food?, 1987, pp 77-84 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The politics of food pricing is concerned with two sets of questions: first, what interests and pressures lie behind current policies of market intervention and the generation of political resources, particularly those that do not appear sensible from an economic point of view; second, what changes in political pressures can lead to reform?
