The book "The Impact of the Common Agricultural Policy on Food Prices" by Maximilian Heyde offers a comprehensive analysis of the effects of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on food prices. In a sector heavily protected by subsidies, the author examines the complex economic mechanisms behind price fluctuations. The CAP not only affects European farmers but also impacts agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, where market distortions and trade liberalization are central issues. Heyde highlights the historical development of the CAP and its consequences for rural development, making the book a valuable resource for students of economics and development studies, as well as for those interested and professionals in the field of economic development.
