AMES, lowa - “Role 7 of
Government in a Market
Economy, 1 ' Just published by the
lowa Slate University Press,
contains seven lectures by in
ternationally known economists
and agricultural economists
discussing the _ role of a market
economy, the evolution of that role
over time, imperfections in the
United States economy, and ap
propriate policy actions for dealing
with those imperfections.
Originally delivered as part of
the Norton Lecture Series at the
University of Illinois, Urfoana, the
lectures in this book cover the
changing role that government
plays in organizing agricultural
markets. Lowell D. Hill, editor,
says, “The economic impacts of
government’s activities and
regulations in agriculture are not
well understood. Each of tbe in
dividual authors presents a point of
view trying to identify what they
consider to be tbe appropriate role
of government.”
Tbe book begins with a historical
review of the definition of markets
and the functions that markets
perform. Written by Harold F.
Breimyer, this lecture also
identifies some of tbe structural
changes that have taken place in
agricultural markets, their causes,
and the direction of future
changes. Lecture two, by Lowell D.
Hill, identifies an approach for
evaluating the performance of
market systems with different
degrees of government in
volvement in marketing.
It continues with John Kenneth
Galbraith examining the economic
environment In which agricultural
markets operate - the fiscal and
monetary policies and changing
work ethic in the United States that

in market economy
limit the ability of the market to
respond to supply and demand
Following the Galbraith lecture,
Willard F, Mueller identifies the
distortions of the market caused by
market power of large firms and
suggests alternatives in antitrust
policies that can keep the market
system operating.
“Role of Government in a
Market Economy” continues with
a lecture by Theodore W. Schultz.
He describes the strengths and
weaknesses of the market and
separates the objectives of society
that can best be met by a free
market from those that must be
left to government agencies. Then,
D. Gale Johnson looks at United
States exports and world trade and
how they have been influenced by
government actions. The final
lecture by Bruce Gardner looks
more specifically at agricultural
policies in the 1960’s and their
relationships with the
macroeconomics of the Reagan
administration.
Editor Hill is L. J. Norton
Professor of Agricultural
Marketing at the University of
Illinois, Urbana. Bach of the other
authors is well known throughout
the agriculture and economics
professions.
Academicians and agricultural
industry and policy personnel, as
well as the general public, will find
this book of interest. It will also be
useful as supplemental reading in
policy courses and broadbased
marketing courses. The book is
now available through bookstores
or from the lowa State University
