In the spring of 1942, the Food Rationing Program was set into motion. Rationing would deeply affect the American way of life for most. The federal government needed to control supply and demand. Rationing was introduced to avoid public anger with shortages and not to allow only the wealthy to purchase commodities.

While industry and commerce were affected, individuals felt the effects more intensely. People were often required to give up many material goods, but there also was an increase in employment. Individual efforts evolved into clubs and organizations coming to terms with the immediate circumstances. Joining together to support and maintain supply levels for the troops abroad meant making daily adjustments. Their efforts also included scrap drives, taking factory jobs, goods donations and other similar projects to assist those on the front.

In what ways did a division of labor contribute to the growth of Mesopotamian Civilization?
poizon [28]
Most of this has to do with complex agriculture. Once people began farming and domesticating animals for food, not every member of society had to be devoted to being a hunter/gatherer, as was previously the case. Once there was a large surplus of food, farmers and herders could feed the population without much need of other assistance, leaving other members of society free to become writers, artisans, merchants, or governors. Once there was a government and currency in place, the government could use taxes to centralize wealth and create a military that would also strengthen the state.
