Firing Line Friday: Russia and the Food Crisis

     In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.

     Fifty years ago the United States was suffering inflation, with food prices exceeding general inflation numbers. Fifty years ago, the question of Russia and the need for a supply of wheat and grains was of geopolitical importance. Today, we have inflation, with food prices ecceeding general inflation numbers, and the geopolitical issue of Russia and the one of the major breadbaskets of the world, Ukraine. Let us look back half-a-century ago when William F. Buckley, Jr. and Morton I. Sosland discussed Russia and the food crisis.

Until next Friday.
