Is concerned with the hunger and malnutrition which, according to the UN, afflict half the world's people. The author, in this meticulously researched yet highly readable book, demostrates that famine and hunger are caused by the distiburion of power and resources among the industrialized and the poor countries, and within the latter between the elites who own most of the arable land and the mass of the population who own or control little or none.
The book reevaluates the convenient scapegoats for hunger - weather, excessive human fertility, oil price, etc. - and evamines in detail the pseudo-solutions such as population control, transfer of technology and the Green Revolution tha have been proposed, when they have not been imposed, to alleviate it. The author believes that the crucial choice in the Third World lies betewwn self-reliance and dependency. Politics is teh key to worl hunger, jus as social change is the key to eliminating it. |
