Starving America is a book written by Alfred W. McCann and published in 1913. The book is a detailed account of the poverty and hunger that was prevalent in America during that time. McCann examines the causes of poverty and hunger, including the exploitation of workers by capitalists, the lack of access to education and healthcare, and government policies that favored the wealthy. The book also explores the impact of poverty and hunger on individuals and communities, including the physical and mental health effects, the rise of crime and social unrest, and the loss of human potential. McCann argues that poverty and hunger are not inevitable, but rather the result of social and economic structures that can be changed through collective action. Throughout the book, McCann provides examples of successful social movements and programs aimed at alleviating poverty and hunger, including the work of labor unions, the establishment of public schools and hospitals, and the creation of government safety net programs. Overall, Starving America is a powerful critique of the social and economic conditions that led to widespread poverty and hunger in early 20th century America, and a call to action for readers to work towards a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
