Reviews

'I hadn't imagined that a small book could do justice to so large a topic before I read Tony Weis on the global food economy - it's necessary and terrific: intellectually rigorous and informative, full of insight and provocation.' - Henry Bernstein, SOAS 'A searing indictment of big agri-businesses ... A sane and passionate plea to reorder the global food economy ... The book ... should find a place in our bookshelf.' - Economic and Political Weekly 'A sweeping overview of the contradictions and crises in the global food economy.' - Food Ethics
