| March 23, 2011

Show Notes:

There is widespread consensus that the world is facing another food emergency. Redeye speaks with economist Robert Pollin. He believes that speculation is behind the current rise in food prices, rather than changes in the food supply. Pollin is founding co-director of the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
