When Marieke Groen has to go to the municipality for financial help, it dawns on her for the first time that her life has been dominated by scarcity for a long time. By poverty, illness, hunger and loneliness. How could it have come to this? That is what the book is about The Story of My Scarcity.
About the book
Using events from her past, she investigates how the ideas and beliefs she grew up with could form a breeding ground for a life full of shortages. She finds answers to questions such as: what happens in your head when you structurally have too little of something? Why is it so difficult to overcome scarcity? And how is it that different forms of scarcity are inextricably linked?
The Story of My Scarcity is a moving and illuminating literary memoir about the mechanisms behind scarcity.
