Explanation:

During the 1800s a series of groups known as Farmer’s Alliances surfaced around the US, especially around the Midwest and Southern States. The main reason for the formation of these Alliances was that farmers were discontent because of the falling prices of crops and poor marketing and credit facilities. They began to compete in elections and were successful in regional victories but they never reached the national scale.

when a country suffers, for example, a drought period, the market product is affected for a low offer, in this case, potatoes; the government has to tax to the households, which have to give more money for the potatoes which they consume, that situation make them consume substitute goods even through loans, it could increase the financial market movement and the inflationary phenomena, the business has to increase salaries in order to the employees could buy a more expensive food (potatoes) and in order to inflation tha business had to buy expensive supplies in the factor market, while the rest of the world have to gain more money to consume the same amount of potatoes.
