Book cover for Red Team Blues (Martin Hench #1)
Finance crime is a necessary component of violent crime. Even the most devoted sadist needs a business model, or he will have to get a real job. The difference isn’t whether there are murders, it’s where there are murders: what Bates means ...more

“Agriculture under capitalism has a tendency to overproduce; for the last half century the world has produced 1.5 times more than enough food to feed every man, woman, and child on the planet. Overproduction in the Global North has led to a steady decline in the price of agricultural commodities. Commodities in most industries are manipulated by a handful of monopolistic corporations that try to avoid “price wars” between each other.”
Eric Holt-Giménez, A Foodie's Guide to Capitalism

“Today, despite centuries of capitalism, large-scale capitalist agriculture produces less than a third of the world’s food supply, made possible in large part by multibillion-dollar subsidies and insurance programs. Peasants and smallholders still feed most people in the world, though they cultivate less than a quarter of the arable land.”
Eric Holt-Giménez, A Foodie's Guide to Capitalism

“The Global South went from a billion dollars in yearly food exports in the 1970s to importing 11 billion dollars a year in food by 2001.”
Eric Holt-Giménez, A Foodie's Guide to Capitalism

“The ability to apply nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium to agricultural soils eliminated the practices of cover cropping, inter-cropping, and relay-cropping with legumes. This separated grain cultivation from livestock production, leading to monocultures and feedlots.”
Eric Holt-Giménez, A Foodie's Guide to Capitalism

“reformist proposals, like reducing and repurposing food waste to end hunger, never ask why people are poor or why the food system produces so much waste to begin with. Reformist policies do not challenge capitalist structures, like concentrated land ownership, the financialization of food and land, corporate concentration, or market fundamentalism. Nor do they consider whether it is socially just that a basic human need like food is considered a commodity,”
Eric Holt-Giménez, A Foodie's Guide to Capitalism
