For anyone interested in a short discussion of the famine, you
might want to see an article published last April::

John Newsinger. 1996. The Great Irish Famine: a crime of free market
economics. Monthly Review 47(11):11-19.

Also Lance Howard's suggestion of Henry
Hobhouse, _Seeds of Change: Five Plants that Transformed Mankind_ (NY:
Harper & Row, 1986) is an excellent book- one especially worthwhile to read.
