The Politics of Starvation
"The Politics of Starvation" is an essay published in 1946 by the English author George Orwell. The essay argues the need to help feed Europeans after the war, and attributes motives to left-wingers who oppose the idea.
==Background==
Rationing in the United Kingdom was introduced at an early stage of World War II, and did not end completely until 1954. It became stricter after the war ended than during the hostilities, with bread rationing beginning in 1946 and potato rationing in 1947. This was largely because of the need to feed the population of European areas coming under British control, whose economies had been devastated by the fighting.
"Save Europe Now" was an organisation under the aegis of Orwell's publisher Victor Gollancz which was concerned with the relief and reconstruction of Europe after the war.〔(Matthew Frank ''The New Morality—Victor Gollancz, ‘Save Europe Now’and the German Refugee Crisis, 1945–46'' Oxford Journals )〕
The essay first appeared in Tribune on 18 January 1946
