Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the United States sugar program during World War II. In 1942, the United States government purchased the entire Cuban sugar crop, along with crops from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti, to stabilize prices and ensure distribution. The author argues that price ceilings kept consumer prices low, while subsidies were necessary to keep farmers producing sugar. Rationing was needed to distribute available sugar fairly. The home-canning program was intended to encourage food preservation, but its effectiveness was limited by lack of controls. The sugar program had a significant impact on the lives of Americans during the war, and this book provides valuable insights into the complex challenges of food distribution and price control.
