The Future of Freedom Foundation posted online today my article on how the feds seized control of American agriculture in the late 1920s and early 1930s. This story is not conducive to trust in either politicians or intellectuals. Here’s the wrapup of the piece: Though much of the farm crisis of the early 1930s was […]
