Why Do We Have So Much Corn?

The reason we have so much corn is entirely political. It's entirely about the fact that, like, there's a corn lobby in the us. That is enormously powerful. And this means that the american corn industry has billions and billions of dollars in subsidies. The only thing every economist across the entire political specalum agrees on are Corn subsidies. You must be very careful to make sure you're attributing agency to the thing that actually has agency.
