The main topic in “The Locust Effect” breaks my heart. It is basically the argument that I made for my final project in my Ethical Philosophy of Global Justice class. Violence and crime affect the poor. Trafficking, rape, and other forms of violence are problem of an unequal distribution of resources.
Though this book is specific to the developing world, it was seeing this poverty in my backyard as a kid that helped me to really see the problem of poverty for what it is.
