Unless the developed world takes vigorous and immediate measures to correct the imbalance in the distribution of world resources which perpetuates poverty in the Third World this conflict will endanger world stability in the coming decades. Improvements in agricultural methods do not in themselves eradicate hunger in poor countries. It is usually the richer farmers who benefit from higher crop yields not the needy poor. Malnutrition owes much more to poverty and unemployment than agricultural failure. Population control, by itself can do little in the absence of a more equitable distribution of world resources and political power within and between countries involving a fundamental change in ideology and education. This is a challenging and critical book. Its arguments cannot be ignored by any one concerned with the creation of a just and stable world order.
