How I Learned to Stabilize Rice Prices, and Why: A Retrospective Essay

Abstract

This paper for the 20th anniversary special issue of the Asian Journal of Agriculture and Development traces the evolution of my thinking on what to do about food price instability. Now that feeding the world is again front-page news, I am trying to figure out what pieces of my own thinking over the past half century might provide guidance on how to proceed. The world food system is under great stress as I write (early 2024), but this is probably a good time for some historical perspective as well as active engagement from people with knowledge of on-the-ground realities. I apologize in advance for the extensive listing of my own publications, but their story is my story.
