War Time Control of Distribution of Foods: A Short History of the Distribution Division of the United States Food Administration, Its Personnel and Achievements (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Amidst the turmoil of World War I, the author recounts the urgent need for wartime food control to prevent both extreme scarcity and hoarding. Their argument is bolstered by an exploration of the many paradoxes inherent in the suspension of free market principles and the introduction of arbitrary price controls. This book details the specific measures used to control the food trade, including licensing schemes, profit control, and restrictions on contracts. Above all, it emphasises the cooperative spirit in which an entire industry embraced voluntary sacrifice in pursuit of one shared goal: winning the war.
