Author and Oxford economist Paul Collier, author of The Bottom Billion: Why The Poorest Countries Are Failing and What Can Be Done About It, discusses market friendly food aid, how current food-price increases mirror the crisis of 2008 and why even booming economies need help to bring down malnutrition. He also discusses his new book, The Plundered Planet, and presents a "modest proposal" to fund food aid with fish.
