The scale of U.S. food aid isn’t strongly tied to how much recipient countries actually require it — but it does rise after a bumper crop in the American heartland, suggesting that food aid is far more about dumping American leftovers than about sending help where help’s needed.
The movement does not stand against capitalism, and it certainly doesn’t stand for communism. It’s a movement for honest capitalism. Honest capitalism in America — funding good emerging businesses so that they succeed — what a concept! Our bankers should try it sometime.
