Wouldn’t you think the geniuses from Wharton and Stanford could get together and figure out how much food grain a nation needs, subtract the amount the country can produce itself, and then supply just enough to feed the population? That would keep prices stable and still keep people from starving. Mybe even reduce the aid level by 10 percent, just to make sure the internal market remains strong.
Then work to make sure the grain gets to its intended recipients and doesn’t go into the warehouse of some tinhorn warlord.
Sounds like central planning.
