The book explores the contentious topic of rationing in society, highlighting its prevalence in essential resources like food, water, and healthcare. It challenges the stigma surrounding the concept, likening the reaction to discussing rationing to a taboo subject. The author draws on insights from health care expert Henry Aaron and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen to illustrate the inherent inequalities and adverse effects that arise when access is determined by one's financial means.
