IATP telah mengeluarkan satu koleksi pertama seumpamanya beberapa siri penulisan mengenai spekulasi berlebihan dalam pasaran komoditi ke atas harga pertanian dan makanan. Excessive Speculation in Agriculture Commodities: Selected Writings from 2008–2011 mengandungi 19 topik berbeza yang meliputi segala-galanya daripada asas spekulasi sehingga ke pasaran komoditi, dan mengapa spekulasi tersebut bertanggungjawab mencetus krisis harga pertanian, serta maklumat mengenai kawal selia spekulasi yang berlebihan.

Sebagai pendahuluan, Steve Suppan dari IATP menulis:
As former National Director of Intelligence Dennis Blair told a stunned U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on February 12, 2009, the global economic crisis, triggered by financial and commodity market deregulation, has replaced Al-Qaeda as the number one U.S. national security threat. Blair’s intelligence agencies forecast widespread regime destabilization if the economic crisis continued to fester without major policy and political reform within two years. His agencies did not specify what reforms were needed nor advocate for their enforcement. That is up to us.

Antara penulis yang menyumbang artikel dalam koleksi ini ialah Olivier De Schutter, U.N. Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Michael W. Masters, Adam K. White, Daryll E. Ray, Harwood D. Schaffer, David Frenk dan Steve Suppan.
