The Political Economy of Food with Eric Holt-Gimenez

In this Conversation, we spoke with Eric Holt-Gimenez, author of the book, "A Foodie's Guide to Capitalism: Understanding the Political Economy of What We Eat." Why does hunger exist? What are the causes of food insecurity? Why do those in working in the food system, from the farmers who till the soil to the server who places your meal on the table, receive largely unlivable wages? Eric's answer to these questions is simple: capitalism. Together we trace a line from the enclosures of the early 17th century to the present, looking at how food was commodified and how the market capitalist economic system has done a great job of overproducing food, and a poor one of distributing it equitably.
