Good presentation at the #mmtconf19 on food insecurity.
Welfare state growth has been via food distribution programs (in US), tied to work requirements. Heavily funded by Fed Gov’t since early 1980s.
Interesting point is that this flips around the narrative around capitalism and food. It’s only massive gummint interference into the free markets that is getting the populace fed.
Also these programmes give a tax benefit for corporations dumping unsold food. So it’s covering up for planning failures in the private sector.
