The U.S. farm subsidies should be reduced or eliminated.

However, there are equally valid reasons why the subsidies should remain as benefits to the small scale farmers.

Introduction

Much of the human suffering and economic disadvantages that occurred during the Great Depression (1929-1933) were a result of the boom mentality and unregulated business practices of the 1920s.

Praying on a naïve boom psychology, businessmen led a devastating attack on the Midwest that ultimately was not curbed by politicians or financial institutions until the middle 1930s.

When asked to view the documentary Slavery by Another Name, I was expecting to see something about prisoners being used in forced labor by some other country. I was clearly not expecting it to be about the treatment of African Americans in the United States after the Emancipation Proclamation.

I understood that there was still discrimination, especially in the American South, but the former slaves at least had the opportunity to make a living on their ...

Introduction

The food system and the all the supply chain activities between production and the delivery of the food to the final consumer are dominated by very few corporations.

In an ideal situation, the food system should benefit from the activities of ...
