Originally published in 1941, a popular discussion on Food Policy was very welcome at a time when it had become a personal problem for every housewife. It was the purpose of this book to bring home to the general public the nature of the problem. The author first exposes capitalism’s failure to feed the people adequately either in peace or war. He traces the failure to its root cause, and points out that this nation had never had a food policy. Finally, he shows how policy could be re-cast on a cooperative basis to meet the conditions resulting from the war. Today it can be read in its historical context.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1941. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
