Description: Fine. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. "In this completely revised and updated edition of the most important book on world hunger, three of our foremost experts on food and agriculture expose and explode the myths that prevent us from effectively addressing the problem....Written is a straightforward, easy-to-read style, WORLD HUNGER: TWELVE MYTHS shakes many tenaciously held beliefs; but most important, it convinces readers that by standing together with the hungry we can advance not only humanitarian ... read more
"In encouraging readers to "challenge the grip of economic dogma," the authors provide a well-researched antidote to received wisdom about global poverty. They show the root causes of hunger as being "the antidemocratic concentration of power over economic resources, especially land and food," and argue that the goal of ending hunger "is no more utopian than the goal of abolishing slavery was, not all that long ago."
The carefully reasoned and thoroughly footnoted answers to some of the principal arguments for continuation of the global status quo make this an essential book."
"I was given this book around the time it was first published, 1998, and finaly read it years later. So much more than just a book about hunger, it is a book about politics and political strategies largely unknown to laypeople. This book excavates the origins of hunger, even down to gender inequality and overpopulation.
The book is formatted in a way which makes it a worthwhile resource - one that is easily snatched from the shelf in order to point out an argument or case study.
"Think you know about hunger? Why it happens? Read this and challenge the nonsense you hear from establishment types. Very easy to read and accessible."
