food crisis

Food is at the center of our lives. With it we thrive, without it, we die. One of the most tragic contradictions of capitalism is that while food is abundant, many in the US and the world over live with food insecurity and die from starvation. The same financial gambling that caused the housing crisis is also responsible for rising food prices. When livelihoods are suddenly priced out of reach as they were in Egypt, revolt is inevitable and revolution possible. Join the International Socialist Organization as we take a hard look at how dangerous food production, inadequate distribution, and the anarchy of the financial market can be overthrown and replaced with a rational system that meets people's basic needs all over the world.
