Why does a bushel of wheat sell for what it does, and can anyone really control it? Henry Wallace examines the price-registering system, the three price-making forces, supply and demand, and the true cost of production. A future statesman thinking hard about the economics every farmer lives by. Understand the market that decides whether your crop pays.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
