Food — The ultimate weapon?

Jimmye S. Hillman

Intereconomics – Review of European Economic Policy (1966 - 1988), 1978, vol. 13, issue 1/2, 24-28

Abstract: Since the Arab oil embargo and the US-Russian wheat deal of 1973 there has been much talk of “agri-power“ implying that the United States which normally accounts for 50% or more of the world’s wheat exports could follow the oil producers’ example and unleash a food weapon to bring the Third World and the Soviet Union to heel. Dr. Hillman points out that — apart from moral considerations — this proposition is full of holes.
