2002-03: Surplus and Scarcity

Volume 10: 2001-2002

How much is enough, and how are so many rendered wanting in a world with such bounty? While scarcities of cropland, forests, water, and other renewable resources are felt around the world, concentrations of surplus often rest in the hands of a few. What should be done? Such controversies are at once ecological, political, social, and psychological.
