This also applies in the UK and most other industrialized countries. Furthermore, with a few national exceptions, the necessary information is not available by which a policy aimed directly at enabling the agricultural population to enjoy a fair standard of living could be designed and monitored. Wealth, as it relates to the economic status of farmers and their families, is almost totally ignored. The book has 7 chapters and a subject index UR - https://dx.doi.org/10.1079/9781845938475.0000 ER -
