       Beginning in the 1870s, repeated famines hit various regions of
       the world, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Between 1876 and
       1879, between eight and ten million victims were recorded in
       India, another ten million ten years later, added to the 20
       million victims in China between 1876 and 1879, one million in
       Brazil during those same years and two millions more ten years
       later16. How can we explain this multiplication of world famines
       when international trade and transportation should be in a
       position to prevent them? The answer lies precisely in the rise
       of futuresand international speculation: in Africa and Asia,
       commodity exchanges opened, and the speculative grain trade and
       colonial policies of plunder, far from stopping in the face of
       poor harvests, instead demanded that more local producers enter
       more products into the circuits. international.

       famines, aggravated them, contrary to
       what liberal economic theories maintain; The reason is that the
       markets were not competitive and that the law of supply and
       demand was a merely theoretical hypothesis. These tensions were
       repeated during the interwar period in which, together with the
       well-known financial crisis, Speculation in basic necessities
       skyrocketed in the "North" and aggravated poor harvests and
       famines in the colonial worlds. Negotiations over promises to
       sell colonial products such as rubber, cocoa, cotton and sugar
       encouraged their cultivation in these regions, regardless of any
       environmental, but even economic considerations.

       Political famines However, the 20th centuryHe also knew a new
       important source of famine along with speculative movements:
       politics. Thus, in the Soviet Union, the terrible famine that
       struck many Russian regions in 1922 was a consequence partly of
       drought, partly of the civil war that had ravaged the country
       for the previous three years, and partly of the requisition
       policies implemented. by Soviet power. Ten years later, faced
       with peasant and political resistance in Ukraine, Stalin
       resorted to a similar method: the Soviet power decided to take
       away their meager wheat reserves from local peasants, hit by a
       major drought.
