"Experiments in State Control at the War Office and the Ministry of Food" is a detailed and authoritative analysis of the unprecedented expansion of government intervention in the British economy during the First World War. Written by E. M. H. Lloyd, this work explores the transition from traditional laissez-faire governance to a highly centralized system of state-led regulation and procurement necessitated by the demands of total war.

The study focuses specifically on the administrative mechanisms developed within the War Office and the Ministry of Food to manage vital resources and ensure the supply of the military and civilian populations. Lloyd provides a rigorous examination of the practical challenges, successes, and failures of wartime bureaucracy, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of modern economic policy. By documenting the internal operations of these key departments, the work sheds light on how global conflict fundamentally reshaped the relationship between the state and private industry.

This text remains an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in economic history, public administration, and the socio-political consequences of the Great War. It serves as a foundational study of how emergency measures can lead to lasting changes in the structure of national governance and economic management.
