Resumen
Descripción
Though integration has been well worked over by
agricultural economists, it still deserves further
thought, because of differences in the insight and
outlook of people, and partly because integration
deals with topics of enduring interest—shifting enterprise
combinations. In this paper, the author
discusses a few significant facts and ideas about integration
that are not widely appreciated and, anyway,
do merit restatement since they will help economists
to focus on emerging problems. Some of the ideas
in the paper were presented at the Western Regional
Marketing Workshop for extension workers in agricultural
marketing at Salt Lake City in 1961. The
