| | Nor is hunger the only issue; the same powerlessness means no access to shelter, or medical care, or education, etc. So the general solution is to work against concentration of power. | | | For LCRE, the entry point is hunger — the existence of large numbers of chronically hungry people. | | | Both works are concerned with finding the roots of these social ills; they seek to solve the social problems by transforming the debate. |

That this Erhard worldview also became expressed through "a language and a style of work, and effective techniques" used by THP. | | | But it seems that it is Erhard's "principles and abstractions" that still largely animate what THP is all about and remain the primary impetus or "source" behind much of its programming. | | | THP still seems to largely dismiss such a "conventional approach" to world hunger. |

| | Fifty Years of U.S. Food Aid and Its Role in Reducing World Hunger |
