review of Pitirim A Sorokin, Hunger as a Factor in Human Affairs; translated by Elena P. Sorokin

reviewed by C. Peter Timmer

American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 82, No. 4 (January 1977), pp. 912-914

I disagree with the conclusions drawn by Timmer at the end of the review with respect to Sorokin’s conclusions (reached by Sorokin in the book’s concluding pages) about the relationship between hunger and statism.
