Silence Can Kill

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Arthur Simon has spent a lifetime issuing much-needed wake-up calls to force America to confront the horrid realities of domestic and international hunger. He does it again in Silence Can Kill, a searing indictment of our failing status quo that allows mass food deprivation at a time of soaring wealth at the top. The book is on target on all the big issues: that hunger saps us morally and economically, that charity alone can’t fix the problem, but that the problem of hunger can indeed be solved by building a people’s movement to compel governments to enact the proven public policies to end it.”
