About the author

Ernest Ludwig Feder was among the most prolific, creative and boldest of rural economists in the decades after the Second World War. Yet much of the work for which he would become most well known — on land reform, dependency and peasant agriculture, particularly in Latin America — was a comparatively late development, starting when he was almost fifty, more than two-thirds of the way through a full and varied life that never conformed to conventional academic criteria and that came to a premature end when he was just seventy-one. In the years since, the relevance of his work has grown, although the number of younger scholars who actually read his books and papers has declined.

Reviews

[Francisco Vazquez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excelente monografía sobre la estructura de la industria de la fresa en México en los años 70, que sirve como caso de estudio para analizar el sector agrícola del país y la relación entre México y EUA.
Alto contenido ideológico cercano a la teoría de la dependencia, aunque el marco analítico es impecable.
Recomendable como documento histórico y base de análisis para entender la situación actual del sector agrícola mexicano -muy diferente a la de los años 70, aunque todavía no ha podido superar el reto sempiterno de la desigualdad.
