Synopsis

In Why Food Aid? Ruttan brings together important essays and commentary on food aid policy--focusing on the need, the problems, the options, and the future. Beginning with the now-classic debate between Willard W. Cochrane and Nobel laureate Theodore W. Schultz, the book includes work by such figures as ethicist Peter Singer, political commentator Emma Rothschild, and scholar Hans W. Singer. Also included is the congressional testimony of Raymond Hopkins on reforming food aid in the 1990's.

About this title

Review

"The role and success of this book lie in clarifying that common ground at a time when Third World structural adjustment and emerging democracy in Eastern Europe are transforming the international food calculus... This book should not only be read by all agricultural economists, it would make a fine textbook for undergraduate policy or development courses." -- Peter CalkinsJournal of Developing Areas

"Valuable both as a historical source and for its analytic contents." -- Population and Development Review
