Abstract

Voeding is de verbindende lijm in een gefragmenteerde maatschappij: het kan mensen, bedrijven, maar ook onze hele gezondheidszorg en economie verbeteren door de transitie in te zetten naar duurzame consumptie. In die transitie speelt elke schakel een belangrijke rol: landbouwers, voedingsbedrijven, retailers en supermarkten, maar ook consumenten en overheden. True Cost of Food is de eerste stap naar een gezamenlijke actie om beter te produceren, om beter te verkopen, beter te consumeren, en samen naar een concrete duurzame consumptiemaatschappij.

Abstract

The most widely cited social welfare statistics in the United States are based on tabulations of family income. The picture that emerges gives cause for concern: median family income has hardly changed over the last twenty-five years while inequality has increased and poverty remains persistently high. Yet consumption-based statistics as employed in this work yield rigorous and quite different estimates of real individual and social welfare. Closely linked to economic theory, Professor Slesnick's examination of standards of living, inequality, and poverty reveal that the standard of US living has grown significantly while inequality and poverty have decreased to relatively low levels. His assessment is drawn from extended period data in order to chart long-run trends. The work will be of interest to economists, sociologists, economic historians, political scientists, and other readers in the social and policy sciences. Designed to be accessible to non-economists, technical details are relegated to appendices.
