The Farm War of the early 1980s was rooted in the political economy of agriculture, but it was a crisis for the international trading system.

Wolfe shows how and why battles over agricultural protectionism were largely resolved through the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations, demonstrating that the global economy is not self-regulating: it needs institutions if it is to be stable.
