134 Reviews Yet this does not mean that dependency theorists argue that conflict grows from a power imbalance. Barbieri concludes that instead of power imbalances result- ing in greater conflict between states, states with symmetric ties were in fact more likely to experience conflict. In the end, while Barbieri has made a signif- icant contribution to the field, she is willing to admit that while her findings are useful, questions still remain, and more research is needed to understand the exact nature of the interaction between trade and conflict. It is a noble admission from a scholar who has provided a spirited insight into this complex and impor- tant field. Z%e Liberal Illusion is not without its shortcomings, however. Although it is very dense, the book is, in fact, rather short, running to only 137 pages of text. There are sections in the book which provide some excellent analysis on how the Great Powers related to each other in terms of conflict and trade over the last century: The reader would appreciate more of this insight. Moreover, although it is brief, the book devotes considerable detail to explaining the nuances of Barbieri's methodology. While important, readers would likely have traded the extensive equations for more examples that actually address real world relation- ships and conflict. As a result, the books reads like a dissertation (it was), which, while brilliant, could have been expanded and refined somewhat. It also might be appreciated more by political theorists than historians, who will find the rig- orous methodology and extensive data somewhat removed from historical events.

Tape 1 of 1, Side 1 G: You were saying, with regard to the food stamp program, it was something you really had to coax him [LBJ] along on, that he was reluctant to do it. F: Yes, he was reluctant, and that was not the result of a lack of concern, but a genuine feeling, or at least a big question in his mind: "Was this the best use of resources?" and, "Once you feed people, why, it's gone, and how much better off are they?" I would say, "Now, Mr. President, you don't want to go down in history as one who did not support feeding hungry people. I don't want to see that on the history of your administration. I want to see you out in front leading on this issue of reaching people in need of food. I feel very strongly that if we are going to be forced by circumstances to cut back production in agriculture in order to bring some balance in the marketplace, why, it's almost a moral necessity, in my feeling, that we do everything we possibly can to feed people in this country.

Hunger was not a new problem in the 1960s.
