Abstract

Current economic theory is mainly concerned with the factors which affect the wealth of nations. Issues of income distribution and elimination of poverty and deprivation is secondary. The present paper invites discussion on a new paradigm: hunger and homelessness to make the subject of economics really serve the humankind. إن النظرية الاقتصادية الحالية مهتمة بثورة وازدهار الأمم أكثر من اهتمامها بالقضاء على الفقر والحرمان أو بكيفية توزيع الثروة. تدعو هذه الورقة إلى إعادة النظر في هذه النظرية بهدف الوصول إلى نهج جديد للاقتصاد يأخذ بالحسبان مشكلة الفقر وتوزيع الثروة.
