A 13-part personal view by John Kenneth Galbraith of the rise and crisis of Industrial Society
1 10: Land and the People
' Why are so many people so poor? There is no one answer, obviously. But one cause of poverty is pervasive. That is the relationship, past and present, between land and people. Understand that, and we understand the most general single cause of deprivation.'
In Mexico and the Punjab, on the cotton-fields of the old South and the farm where he was born, PROFESSOR GALBRAITH confronts the tragedy of the landless poor and searches for a solution in the world-wide migration to the cities.
