Rural Vulnerability to Famine in Ethiopia: 1958-77

By Mesfin Wolde Mariam

This book sets out to demonstrate that the subsistence production system, with the disincentives of oppression and exploitation which keeps peasants and their families permanently at barely subsistence level without any means of averting or coping with the consequences of crop failure, is the system that creates famine in time of peace.
