"""Agricultural Policy, Agribusiness, and Rent-Seeking Behaviour is a needed addition to the literature and an excellent text for a class on agricultural policy, applied welfare economics, or political economy. The book presents a wise and clear theoretical foundation, which is used to address the most important agricultural and resource policy issues of our time. It is a great classroom text and an extremely useful reference for scholars and professionals. I recommend it strongly.""--David Zilberman, Professor and Robinson Chair in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of California, Berkeley ""This is a well-written text that should be accessible to any economics or agricultural economics student studying agricultural policy. The figures and the text throughout work well in explaining to senior-level students the different aspects of agricultural policies, while the appendices and the more detailed analyses in each chapter help to provide an in-depth analysis for master's level students.""--Michael Vassalos, Associate Professor of Agribusiness, Clemson University"
