Document Summary
Hunger levels are higher in insecure states. The daily recommended calorie count is 2,400. Countries such as the united states, germany and russia exceed this amount while poorer countries like kenya and zambia are well below it. Food security pillars: must have sufficient availability, must have physical, economic and social access, must be able to use safe and nutritious, must be stable at all times. Three key factors to capitalism: political: individual and property rights, economic: competition, social: inequality. Need a competitive market for capitalism to work: monopolies do not allow the market to benefit the average person. No improvement to the economy and the market will be set by one corporation. Competition allows the market to be innovative: we are seeing less competition, more concentration. Structuralist: setting agendas, determine rules and set standards, the ability to punish or reward, e. g. , arbitrage.
