On "Hunger and Public Action": A Review Article

Author

Listed:
  • Ravallion, Martin

Abstract

Recent writings on poverty and hunger agree broadly on objectives and means but diverge significantly in emphasis. Views differ on the importance and function of economic growth and on how much weight to give to direct public support. These differences can matter in policy choices. "Hunger and Public Action" by Jean Dreze and Amartya Sen, is an important contribution to the literature on antihunger policy. This article critically examines the issues raised by the book, its differences with other recent writings, and the implications for both policy and future research on policy. Copyright 1992 by Oxford University Press.
