Land Reform Politics and the Panic Over Overpopulation

This chapter explores the historical context of land reform politics and its connection to the panic over overpopulation in the decolonizing world, specifically focusing on the severe famines post-World War II era and attributing them to European empires, authoritarian politics, and examples like Mao's Great Leap Forward and the famines in India. It also delves into Britain's refusal to provide aid during these famines.
