Rationing: it's a word and an idea that people often loathe and
fear. Health care expert Henry Aaron has compared mentioning the
possibility of rationing to shouting an obscenity in church.' Yet
societies in fact ration food, water, medical care and fuel all the
time, with those who can pay the most getting the most. In Any Way
You Slice It, Stan Cox shows that rationing is not just a quaint
practice restricted to war memoirs. Instead, he persuasively argues
that rationing is a vital concept for the fragile present in an era
of dwindling resources and environmental crises.'
