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.
