Food and Inflation in the Middle East, 1940-1945 is a historical book written by E. M. H. Lloyd and published in 1956. The book examines the impact of World War II on food prices and inflation in the Middle East, specifically in the countries of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. The author delves into the economic and political factors that led to the rise in food prices and inflation during this period, including the disruption of trade routes, the diversion of resources to the war effort, and the manipulation of currency values. Lloyd also explores the social consequences of these economic challenges, such as food shortages, rationing, and the impact on the daily lives of people in the region. The book provides a detailed and informative account of a critical period in Middle Eastern history and sheds light on the challenges faced by the region during a time of global conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
