In this book, Susan George examines the causes of world hunger, arguing that it is not due to food scarcity but rather to political and economic factors. She analyzes how the policies of developed countries, multinational corporations, and local elites contribute to poverty and food insecurity in developing countries. The author offers a critical perspective on the global food system and proposes solutions to address the problem of hunger.
Susan George was an American and French political and social scientist, activist and writer on global social justice, Third World poverty, underdevelopment and debt. She was the president of the Transnational Institute, a think-tank located in Amsterdam. She was a fierce critic of the present policies of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (IBRD) and what she called their 'maldevelopment model'. She similarly criticized the structural reform policies of the Washington Consensus on Third World development. She was of U.S. birth but resided in France, and had dual citizenship since 1994.
