How the capitalist system creates simultaneous hunger and obesity

Let Them Eat Junk Zusammenfassung

Let Them Eat Junk: How Capitalism Creates Hunger and Obesity Robert Albritton

This book to analyses the food industry from a Marxist perspective.

Let The Eat Junk argues that the capitalist system, far from delivering on the promise of cheap, nutritious food for all, has created a world where 25% of the world population are over-fed and 25% are hungry. This malnourishment of 50% of the world's population is explained systematically, a refreshing change from accounts that focus on cultural factors and individual greed. Robert Albritton details the economic relations and connections that have put us in a situation of simultaneous oversupply and undersupply of food.

This explosive book provides yet more evidence that the human cost of capitalism is much bigger than those in power will admit.

Let Them Eat Junk Bewertungen

'Albritton speaks a language that has gone unheard for too long. Karl Marx felt that capitalism's focus on short-term profit was a recipe for disaster when it came to agriculture. Now Albritton shows that, in many ways, the old man was right' -- Debora MacKenzie, New Scientist
'Pulls no punches in its analysis of the contradictions of 21st Century food systems' -- Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University, author of Food Politics (2003)
'Marx understood the dynamics of the current food crisis over a century ago. Robert Albritton has written a fine primer, bridging the best thinking of the nineteenth century to the urgent needs of the twenty-first' -- Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved
