		Famine victims who are still in their homes have the benefit of local supplies, shelter, and community.

		The intensification of the Famine was to expose both the limitations of this commitment and their political weakness, but the interventionist leanings of this group should not be underestimated.
		It was not enough for relief measures to provide the poor with the means of survival, they should do so in such a way as to discourage a culture of dependency and coerce the proprietors into undertaking their moral responsibilities.
		The principle of relief by the poor law attracted consensus in January 1847 because it meant different things to different people and because the existing system was clearly indefensible.

		Much excellent work on famine relief in China has been accomplished during the past decade, but most of it concentrates on the early to high Qing when the state was strong and society relatively stable.
		One result of this focus has been to associate certain patterns of famine relief and grain storage with the dynastic cycle: bureaucratic intervention in food crises was successful when dynasties were strong; obligations for famine relief fell upon the shoulders of local elites when state coffers were depleted.
		Drawing on her study of famine relief in north China during the post Taiping period-in other words, precisely when the financial resources of the state were scarce-Lillian Li detects a trend towards voluntary contributions across long distances, traversing provincial boundaries.

	Famine, Affluence, and Morality, by Peter Singer
		Generally speaking, people have not given large sums to relief funds; they have not written to their parliamentary representatives demanding increased government assistance; they have not demonstrated in the streets, held symbolic fasts, or done anything else directed toward providing the refugees with the means to satisfy their essential needs.
		Given a society in which a wealthy man who gives 5 percent of his income to famine relief is regarded as most generous, it is not surprising that a proposal that we all ought to give away half our incomes will be thought to be absurdly unrealistic.
		I still think that, as I wrote then, the view that famine relief merely postpones starvation unless something is done to check population growth is not an argument against aid, it is only an argument against the type of aid that should be given.
