In 'Hunger in the World Explained to My Son', Jean Ziegler addresses a crucial and painful issue: the persistence of hunger in a world with sufficient resources to feed itself. Through a direct and accessible dialogue, the author explains to young readers the root causes of this injustice, from financial speculation with food to economic policies that perpetuate inequality. With clear and moving language, Ziegler invites us to reflect on our individual and collective responsibility to build a more just and supportive world, where the right to food is a reality for all.
