Petite-fille)\", is a continuation of the same series as author Jean Ziegler's previous work, \"Why Half the World Starves.\"\u003cbr\u003e In the book, the author directly addresses the question that everyone knows but no one has been able to answer: “Why is the world so unequal?”\u003cbr\u003e Now that capitalism has become a monster, how should we live and what kind of world should we leave to

of hunger to hundreds of thousands of readers through his previous work.\u003cbr\u003e In this new book, we go further than previous discussions and, through conversations with our wise granddaughter, Zora, examine the causes of and solutions to the severe hunger and poverty that currently plagues the world.\u003cbr\u003e The plunder and tyranny of multinational corporations and powerful nations, the reality of tax havens and vulture funds, the reality of a small number of financial capital predators monopolizing global wealth, and Third World countries trapped in perpetual poverty due to enormous debts owed to developed nations…\u003cbr\u003e The fundamental cause he points out in this dire situation is 'capitalism', which dominates the world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOf course, it is thanks to capitalism that we have been able to study genes and viruses to fight most diseases and overcome most climate change.\u003cbr\u003e Without capitalism, we would not have been able to improve seeds to produce agricultural products that the market demands, we would not have been able to develop transportation systems like automobiles and airplanes, and we would not have been able to achieve technological advancements like satellites and spacecraft.\u003cbr\u003e Under the protection of capitalism, aren't we and our children enjoying a comfortable life?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, the author argues that capitalism has brought about 'cannibalism' in this world.\u003cbr\u003e This abundance, now enjoyed by only a very small minority, has grown by feeding on the suffering and poverty of the Third World. \u003cbr\u003eMoreover, the fact that they were sacrificed solely because they were born in poor countries raises the question of whether we, who were relatively fortunate, should be able to enjoy this wealth.\u003cbr\u003e As he argues in the book, is it really true that “the world’s 85 richest billionaires own as much wealth as the world’s poorest 3.5 billion people combined”?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “They say that poverty is decreasing worldwide and the middle class is growing in size.\u003cbr\u003e Yet, there are still 2 billion people in the world who do not have regular access to drinking water.\u003cbr\u003e Every four minutes, one person loses their vision due to vitamin A deficiency.\u003cbr\u003e Epidemics of the past claimed tens of millions of lives each year. \u003cbr\u003eAccording to the World Bank, the income of the world's 45 richest people increased by 41 percent last year, while the income of 4.7 billion people decreased by 28 percent during the same period.\u003cbr\u003e (…) The capitalism I am denouncing is a deadly scandal that kills a young life every five seconds around the world.\u003cbr\u003e This constitutes a crime against humanity.\u003cbr\u003e It is clear that capitalism is a mortal danger to humanity.” _From ‘Appendix: Interview with La Voi du Nord’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jean Ziegler urges us, as global citizens, not to turn a blind eye to this unjust and unequal reality, but to join the march for change.\u003cbr\u003e Let us each break free from the thought that 'I alone am powerless' and reject it with the thought that 'we cannot accept this world forever', and rise up like wildfire and protest together. \u003cbr\u003eAfter the book was published, the Swiss newspaper Tribune de Geneve said, “He (Jean Ziegler) hopes that what we consider ‘just’ will one day come together to create a common message.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The purpose of this book is not simply to expose the plight of poor countries or to denounce the tyranny of a few large corporations.\u003cbr\u003e I'm not asking you to help the starving.\u003cbr\u003e The author hopes that each of us, as granddaughters, will converse together and, as a result, a small spark will be ignited in each of our hearts.\u003cbr\u003e The desire to create change for the next generation, the courage to resist the harsh capitalist order, the spark that will ignite a humanity that transcends inequality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Jean Ziegler, who was outraged by the reality that half the world is starving, now dissects the barbaric capitalist system that caused inequality. \u003cbr\u003eIt exposes the history of misuse of the concept of freedom and criticizes the current tyranny of financial power through fair legal means.\u003cbr\u003e Even now, in a reality where many people are dying from labor for the sake of cost reduction and profit increase, his argument that we should 'radically destroy' capitalism rather than just refine it is not at all empty.\u003cbr\u003e “This is a must-read for Koreans who live trapped in the evil trap created by the concept of omnipotent private property, ignoring the inequality right in front of them, saying, ‘Capitalist society is inevitable.’” _Oh Chan-ho, sociologist and author of ‘We Are in Favor of
