It's always difficult to get statists to face the facts of government failure.

Why is government almost always at the bottom of a problem and a long way from the solution?

The current world food crisis is not the long predicted signal of Malthusian overpopulation. Instead, it is the result of political Malthusianism, that is, a series of government policy failures that are preventing farmers from growing the food demanded by the world's hungry billions.

Get that? It's about government failure, not "market failure."
