Abstract

Excerpts from the Letter of Transmittal: This report has been submitted to the Temporary National Economic Committee by a committee appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture, consisting of Messrs. Louis H. Bean, Mordecai Ezekiel, Donald E. Montgomery, and Frederick V. Waugh, all of the Department of Agriculture. The report was written by Dr. Meyers [Senior Economist, USDA] under the supervision of the above committee. Dr. Meyers is one of the foremost authorities on monopolistic competition in the United States. He is the author of "Elements of Modern Economics" and "Modern Economic Problems." The report deals with the present situation of agriculture as a part of our economic system and more specifically with monopolistic practices and inefficiency in the marketing system for farm products and for the products farmers buy. The impact of monopolistic restriction of industrial output and employment upon farm income, farm population and farm economy in general is extensively discussed.
