This is from yoke's blog and the clip just makes me feel nauseated as an economics major. How can such things be happening in this world that we live in? How can we substantiate the food that we are eating even, when such things are happening? We aren't talking about ten or twenty years ago, this is just -two-, i must emphasize, -two-, years ago.
So much for welfare economics, so much for public finance, so much for developmental economics, so much for economic theory, when they can't even -see- such atrocities happening. Its in the news, it may be just one side of the story, there's UN presence there, there's obvious monitoring from IMF and World Bank, there's international aid presence there, so why the heck are they ignoring the basic principle that people should sell off excess only after their basic needs are met?
isn't the right to food and drink for survival part of the basic rights of all human kinds as stated in the Genova convention? so is all that just plain talk and all fluff?
anyway, the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw9OARpp-KI
just watch and form your own opinion.
