Cr�ticas

Sen and his associates deserve a lot of credit for bucking the general trend. (Times Higher Education Supplement)

What makes the work of Dr�ze and Sen so worthy of respect is that it is not reliant on theory or on indignation but firmly based on detailed research and analysis of all aspects of the problem. (William St Clair, Financial Times)

the authors are highly respected and the series draws on an extraordinary data base and comparison between countries. Bringing all this together is Amartya Sen. Lamont University Professor at Harvard, who has an unparalleled reputation for his work on famine, equity, and development economics ... This series forms the most definitive recent analysis of the problems of hunger and deprivation in the three continents of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The range of issues and countries covered is nothing short of extraordinary. (Dissent)

This is an uncommonly fine collection of papers by prominent authors. A valuable addition to upper-division undergraduate and graduate collections in development economics. (C.L. Nelson, Davidson College, CHOICE, Dec '91)

a considerable, and highly stimulating contribution (Pramit Chaudhuri, University of Sussex, The Journal of Development Studies, Vol. 28, No. 2, Jan '92)

a major research effort by 26 well known authors ... The Political Economy of Hunger is essential reading for those academics customarily counselling policy makers. The volume is rich with warnings about assumptions and suppositions, habitually found in official documents, which are partially untrue, sometimes untrue or simply untrue. It is obligatory reading for development administrators engaged in the transfer of resources to abate hunger in low income economies in a world with a billion hungry and poor and half a billion without energy for minimal activity and growth. (The Round Table)

Unquestionably the most satisfying book - although on a very grim subject - that I read this year is the two-volume The Political Economy of Hunger edited by Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze. (Indian Review of Books, Oct. '92)

Those who wish an in-depth, sometimes technical analysis of the complex problems and interrelationships among politics, economics and hunger will find this book to be a valuable resource. (Ruth MCNabb Dow, Eastern Illinois University, Journal of Nutrition Education, July/August 1992)

This is obviously an important book with immediate implications for countless lives. Those who choose not to turn its pages will be deprived of an intellectual treat. (John Komlos, University of Pittsburgh, Journal of Economic Literature, Vol. XXX (September 1992))

The array of articles in all three Dr�ze and Sen volumes is astounding. (Thomas R. DeGregori, University of Houston, Africa Today, 4th Quarter 1992)
