I remember some good bits in the second half of Catching Fire, just that the first half was fail!romance with bits of fail!oppression and fail!economics.
There is a stigma attached to 'taking charity,' I guess, but mostly among people who aren't very desperate. I've heard whole hierarchies of charity with the top being 'giver and receiver don't know each other' or 'giving a loan to start a business/learn a trade,' but again, starving in the streets.
