Abstract
The U.S. Food, Agriculture,
Conservation and Trade Act of
1990 involves more than economics.
All public policy does.
Economic paradigms provide
incomplete premises to use in
analyses of public policies. As
a result, some economists see
solely economic irrationality in
this new Act. However, economics
is only one science
among several that provides
insight into the decades of public
agricultural and food policy
from which the 1990 Act
evolved.
