The Challenge of HungerThe author believes that the multitudes of ill-fed people are in danger of being caught in the totalitarian trap; and, for their escape from this danger, he looks for the establishment of a truly human economy in that part of the world which says it is free and claims to be civilized. Such an economy will not look solely for the profit of the satiated, but will care also and above all for that of the hungry. |
