Abstract
The analysis of the previous two chapters was illustrated largely with data obtained from the rice growing regions of monsoon Asia. The analysis itself, however, is quite general and in no way is limited to any particular crop or region. In fact, the analysis may be even more applicable in Latin America, where the concentration of economic and political power is greater than in Asia and the disequilibrium in factor markets is substantially more acute.
