Ag policy would be funny if it were not so tragic,

This review is from: Plowshares & Pork Barrels: The Political Economy of Agriculture (Independent Studies in Political Economy) (Paperback)
This book defines the terms "perverse incentives" and "unintended consequences." At virtually every turn, from subsidies and set-asides to tariffs and quotas, the authors show that U.S. agricultural policy is not only expensive and unproductive, but also economically damaging to farmers everywhere - domestic and foreign."Plowshares and Porkbarrels" is a must read for all who are concerned with the continued competitiveness of American industry, services, AND FARMING.

This review is from: Plowshares & Pork Barrels: The Political Economy of Agriculture (Independent Studies in Political Economy) (Paperback)
I found this book to be easy to understand and interesting to read. Every American should read this, period. While farm subsidies are not as interesting as other profligate government spending programs they are nevertheless an integral part of our problems. All pundits, independents, conservatives, and Leftists should check this out. Highly recommended.
