A comment on Poor in India Starve as Politicians Steal $14.5 Billion of Food. Parent comment
IIRC Mr. A. Sen won the nobel for showing that people starved not because of lack of food, but because of lack of purchasing power.
The wiki page suggests that his findings are being debated though, to be fair.
My google foo is also a bit literal at the moment, and I wasn't able to produce a result which explained what he won his nobel for.
