Product Review
In Feeding the World, Giovanni Federico considers agricultural development over the past 200 years an outstanding success story. . . . Feeding the World will be of great interest to economists, development specialists and policymakers, and all economic historians should read it. Methodologically, it is an great example of a quantitative economic history, grounded in theory but sensitive to empirical realities worldwide. Substantively, it provides an essential context for understanding economic development over the past 200 years on a global scale.
(Mark Overton Times Higher Education Supplement )
This book provides everything that a mainstream economic history or agricultural history course would want to cover. . . . [T]he book [is] . . . useful and highly recommended.
(Thomas R. DeGregori Journal of Economic Issues )
The range, stance, and clarity of this hugely impressive book make it ideally suited to classroom use at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. It deserves to be widely read, in university libraries and beyond.
(Cormac O Grada Agricultural History Review )
Giovannia Federico should be congratulated for his efforts in providing what is clearly an impressive synthesis, constituting a significant contribution to our understanding of the changing role and the revolution that has taken place in agricultural production since 1800. It will appeal to a wide readership, encompassing not only the academic community but also lay readers who are interested in how feeding the industrially advanced countries of the world has been successfully achieved.
(John Martin The Historian )
