What were war ration books and tokens?
Excuse me, could you please elaborate on the concept of war ration books and tokens? I'm curious to know how they functioned during wartime, particularly in relation to resource allocation and the control of scarce commodities. Were these items issued by governments to citizens as a means of managing demand and ensuring fair distribution? And what specific items or services were typically subject to rationing? It would be great if you could provide some historical context as well.
