| Résumé : |
The basic argument of the book is summarized in a 1969 review by Bruce Trumbo : The underdeveloped nations have exploding populations and static agricultures. The "Time of Famines" will be seriously in evidence by 1975, when food crises will have been reached in several of these nations. The "stricken peoples will not be able to pay for all their needed food imports. Therefore the hunger in these regions can be alleviated only through the charity of other nations" (p. 205). The only important food in famine relief will be wheat, and only the United States, Canada, Australia, and Argentina grow significant amounts of wheat. The United States, the only one of these four countries that has historically given wheat to hungry nations, is the "sole hope of the hungry nations" in the future (p. 206)
"Yet the United States, even if it fully cultivates all its land, even if it opens every spigot of charity, will not have enough wheat and other foodstuffs to keep alive all the starving" (p. 206). "Therefore, the United States must decide to which countries it will send food, to which countries it will not." |
