The two longtime foes have drawn...

The Reproach of Hunger

David Rieff

The Reproach of Hunger

Why have we failed to address the crisis of hunger in the twenty-first century? In 2000 the world’s leaders and experts agreed that the eradication of hunger was the essential task for the new millennium.

Machiavelli (1469-1527) became the pre-eminent political philosopher of his era with the release of «The Prince» (1532). In this treatise he examines the role of political power in shaping statehood.
