> Example?
If we think that food is generally abundant, I think it would be fair to say that famines are caused because people are deprived of food that is available, but either too expensive, and/or too valuable to other parties.
Given that, any example of famine or malnutrition, should be considered.
- WalterBright 3y agoI don't know of any capitalist country that suffers from famine. Malnutrition is usually the result of disease or drug abuse, not lack of food.
- manuelabeledo 3y agoMillions of US citizens suffered from malnutrition during the Great Depression. More recently, half of Africa and SE Asia had malnutrition issues. Only in India, ~100M people currently suffer from malnutrition. I'm pretty sure that's not linked to drug abuse.
