A lighthearted introduction to the myths and realities of the nation's economy draws on the wit and wisdom of more than forty progressive economists affiliated with the Center for Popular Economics and includes coverage of such topics as the environment, government spending, and the war in Iraq. Original.
The main focus of this book is on the causation of starvation in general and of famines in particular. The author develops the alternative method of analysis—the 'entitlement approach'—concentrating on ownership and exchange, not on food supply. The book also provides a general analysis of the characterization and measurement of poverty. Various approaches used in economics, sociology, and political theory are critically examined. The predominance of distributional issues, including distribution between different occupation groups, links up the problem of conceptualizing poverty with that of analyzing starvation.
