On Work, Hunger and the Starvation of the Welfare State

'Anthropologist Maggie Dickinson examines the intersections of hunger, work and the collapsing US welfare state - as the government pushes work requirements for social programs, food assistance subsidizes low-wage jobs, empowers the profits of capital over the lives of workers, and entrenches deep poverty across society. Dickinson is author of Feeding the Crisis: Care and Abandonment in America's Food Safety Net from University of California Press.' -- This is Hell!
