I can’t see what’s new here.During the Irish potato faimnes and mass starvations of the Irish people, the market in exporting vast food supplies out of Ireland was massive. Huge fortunes were made by speculators who delivered food to where the markets wanted it.The same common denominator happened during the Indian faimnes and again, vast food supplies was exported to a higher mark-up overseas.Don’t you just love the market-place?Historians still argue to this day that Government directives to halt certain exports for free distribution saved countles lives in these Countries.I wish I’d lived through that period so that I could be proud of my Country’s actions.
