This contradiction was widely perceived as a "paradox." In fact, as Janet Poppendieck makes clear in this newly expanded and updated volume, it was a normal, predictable working of an economic system rendered extreme by the Depression. The notion of paradox, however, captured the imagination of the public and policy makers, and it was to this definition of the problem that surplus commodities distribution programs in the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations were addressed. This book explains in readable narrative how the New Deal food assistance effort, originally conceived as a relief measure for poor people, became a program designed to raise the incomes of commercial farmers. In a broader sense, the book explains how the New Deal years were formative for food assistance in subsequent administrations; it also examines the performance--or lack of performance--of subsequent in-kind relief programs. Beginning with a brief survey of the history of the American farmer before the depression and the impact of the Depression on farmers, the author describes the development of Hoover assistance programs and the events at the end of that administration that shaped the "historical moment" seized by the early New Deal. Poppendieck goes on to analyze the food assistance policies and programs of the Roosevelt years, the particular series of events that culminated in the decision to purchase surplus agriculture products and distribute them to the poor, the institutionalization of this approach, the resutls achieved, and the interest groups formed. The book also looks at the takeover of food assistance by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its gradual adaptation for use as a tool in the maintenance of farm income. Utliizing a wide variety of official and unofficial sources, the author reveals with unusual clarity the evolution from a policy directly responsive to the poor to a policy serving mainly democratic needs.Food reliefUnited StatesHistoryDepressions1929United StatesAgriculture and stateUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.Food reliefHistory.DepressionsAgriculture and stateHistory.363.8830973Poppendieck Janet1026169Nestle MarionMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458064103321Breadlines knee deep in wheat2440939UNINA03479 am 2200685 n 450 9910131499903321201507152-7535-2539-010.4000/books.pur.25227(CKB)3710000000448706(FrMaCLE)OB-pur-25227(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/54406(PPN)267953194(EXLCZ)99371000000044870620150721j|||||||| ||| 0freuu||||||m||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLe négoce français au Chili 1880-1929 /Enrique Fernández-DomingoRennes Presses universitaires de Rennes20151 online resource (379 p.) 2-7535-0182-3 La fin du XIXe siècle se caractérise au Chili par la croissance économique du pays et par la totale intégration du marché chilien dans le système économique mondial. Entre 1880 et 1929, le Chili connaît de profonds changements dans ses structures économiques et sociales en transformant les caractéristiques de ce marché. Parallèlement, les pays industriels se lancent à la conquête de nouveaux débouchés afin de pouvoir placer une partie de leur production industrielle. Entre 1880 et 1914, la part de la France dans le commerce mondial ne cesse de diminuer. La France perd le deuxième rang et le pays n’est plus en 1913 que la quatrième puissance commerciale. Pendant les années 1920, la France conserve sa part de marché et sa position par rapport au commerce mondial. Dans ce monde désorienté, quels succès et quelles limites le commerce français trouve-t-il dans le marché chilien entre 1880 et 1929 ? Et quelle est l’évolution des structures du négoce français au Chili ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles le livre de Enrique Fernández-Domingo s’efforce de répondre. Né à Castellón de la Plana (Espagne) en 1969, Enrique Fernández- Domingo est docteur en histoire contemporaine. Il a enseigné à l’université de Bretagne-Sud. Actuellement Maître de Conférences à l’université de Paris VIII Saint Denis, il travaille notamment sur les pays du cône sud américain.EconomicsHistorycommerce extérieurconditions économiquesnégoce internationalgrande entrepriseentreprise familialesystème capitalistehistoire économiqueXIXe-XXe sièclescommerce extérieurXIXe-XXe sièclesgrande entreprisesystème capitalistenégoce internationalconditions économiquesentreprise familialehistoire économiqueEconomicsHistorycommerce extérieurconditions économiquesnégoce internationalgrande entrepriseentreprise familialesystème capitalistehistoire économiqueXIXe-XXe sièclesFernández-Domingo Enrique1319593Fernández-Domingo Enrique1319593FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910131499903321Le négoce français au Chili3034006UNINA
