Overview
By one of the most famous and formidable journalists in the Spanish language comes a book on mankind's oldest, most persistent, and brutal dilemma--world hunger. There are now over 800 million starving people in the world. An average of 25,000 men and women, and in particular children, perish from hunger or malnutrition every single day. Yet we produce enough food to feed the entire human population one-and-a-half times over. So why is it that world hunger remains? In this crucial and galvanizing work, award-winning author Mart n Caparr s travels the globe in search of an answer. His investigation brings him to Africa and the Indian subcontinent where he witnesses starvation first-hand, to Chicago where he documents the greed of corporate food distributors, and to Buenos Aires where he accompanies trash scavengers in search of something to eat. An international bestseller when it first appeared in 2014, this first ever English language edition has been updated by Caparr s to consider those conditions that have improved or worsened in the last five years. With its deep reflections and courageous journalism, Caparr s has created a powerful and empathic work that remains committed to ending the longest ongoing crisis in history.
