30 sept. 1981 - Poverty and Famines: An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation published by Amartya Sen
Description:
This book argued that famine occurs not only from a lack of food, but from inequalities built into mechanisms for distributing food. It is also argued that the Bengal famine was caused by an urban economic boom that raised food prices, thereby causing millions of rural workers to starve to death when their wages did not keep up.Ajouté au bande de temps:
