Críticas:
From the hardback: `If their book has the impact it deserves (and no technical knowledge is needed to understand it), it may save the lives of millions. It is one of the most important contributions to economic thought for many a year.' Financial Times
`magnificent.'Robert Oakeshott, The Political Quarterly
`excellent book' The Economist
`This book, by two of the most eminent modern students of hunger, is wholly and honourably different.' Times Literary Supplement
'This is a book of hope which highlights how action on behalf of people whose lives are marred by persistent hunger, can and is likely to pay off. A book to be read without delay by every Minister of Agriculture - indeed by every government minister whose decisions have anything to do with agriculture.' International Agricultural Development, Nov/Dec, 1990
'An admirable book, the result of careful empirical research. No specialist knowledge of economics is needed to understand it.' William St Clair, Financial Times
'of great interest ... Their conclusions are well argued and extremely well documented with extensive case studies and a list of bibliographical references running to over seventy pages.' Michael Taylor, Crucible, January-March 1991
'This is an extremely rich book that challenges many of the common assumptions about development and international aid. Written in a fluid and highly accessible style, it ranges widely, tackling many issues that are at the centre - or should be at the centre - of the development debate.' Marie Gottschalk, Far Eastern Economic Review
'The book is wide-ranging, sharply analytical, and highly readable ... if governments took enough notice of this book, agencies like Oxfam would not be needed.' Tony Vaux, Emergencies Officer, Oxfam UK and Ireland, Development in Practice, Vol. 1, No.1
'important book ... this marshalling of evidence and arguments is both valuable and formidable ... in a vast and rapidly expanding literature on famine and hunger ... Hunger and Public Action will rapidly become essential reading' Tim Dyson, London School of Economics, Population Studies, 45/1
