Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman: A Crisis of Famine
In spite of the reeling economy, the 21st Century is still a comparative age of plenty. But decades after the Green Revolution, there is still not enough food. Staggeringly, 25,000 people a dayand nearly 6 million children a yeardie of hunger, malnutrition, and related diseases. Many think of famine as a natural disaster, or as the legacy of war and corrupt leaders, but Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman, award-winning writers on Africa, development, and agriculture, blame bad policies across the political spectrum. The veteran Wall Street Journal reporters new book, Enough: Why the Worlds Poorest Starve in an Age of Plenty, serves as an indictment of the economic, political, and social forces that perpetuate hunger and famineand the inspiring stories of the people fighting to change them. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with University Book Store.
