"Breaking new ground, Winders' original class analysis of US agricultural politics differentiates commodity programs as vectors of privilege and change in farm policy and markets at home and abroad."--Philip McMichael, Cornell University
--Philip McMichaelWinner of the 2011 Political Economy of the World-System (PEWS) Section of the American Sociological Association Book Award--Distinguished Book Award"American Sociological Association" (08/22/2011)
"Bill Winders in The Politics of Food Supply: U.S. Agricultural Policy in the World Economy provides an engaging and incisive account of the history and political economy of farm policy in the United States."--;/DIV>--Sandeep Vaheesan "ASEAN Economic Bulletin "
"Winders's book has several strong points or innovations in agricultural policy analysis. First, the commodity-based approach is an insightful and interesting unifying framework that nicely ties together political, technological, and economic elements. Winders does well to remind current readers how farm commodities--and associated political power--were regionally intense. Another strength is the linking of the corn-wheat-cotton commodity framework to the global economy. Fully comprehending this framework requires understanding a U.S. food regime built on export subsidies and food aid. A third strength is Winders's in-depth analysis of congressional votes and hearings, which ultimately demonstrates that within-segment politics are at least as important as general party politics."--Edward C./I>--Edward C. Jaenicke "American Journal of Sociology "
"A clear, detailed, and intelligent guide to the history of US agricultural policy" Alice Weinreb, Environmental History.-- (07/01/2013)
"Winders's book is at its best when it links both the policy's [of agricultural supply management] persistence and its 1996 elimination to the political support of three commodity-based segments within agriculture: corn, wheat, and cotton. Winders claims that class transformation within the cotton segment was the ultimate key to the policy reversal."--Edward C. Jaenicke, American Journal of Sociology-- (01/01/2010)
