Overview
In Why Food Aid? Ruttan brings together important essays and commentary on food aid policy--focusing on the need, the problems, the options, and the future. Beginning with the now-classic debate between Willard W. Cochrane and Nobel laureate Theodore W. Schultz, the book includes work by such figures as ethicist Peter Singer, political commentator Emma Rothschild, and scholar Hans W. Singer. Also included is the congressional testimony of Raymond Hopkins on reforming food aid in the 1990's.Editorials
