Marx paid no real attention to agriculture and resources until the Civil War in the US cut off cotton supplies and had a devastating effect on Engels' and thus Marx's circumstances. Marx has two stories of agricultural development. One is the impoverishment of the soil; the other is the industrialization of agriculture. As Sartesian says, Marx shows how agriculture becomes increasingly capital intensive. Rice farmers nearby use virtually no labor -- even planting their crop with airplanes. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 530 898 5321 fax 530 898 5901 http://michaelperelman.wordpress.com ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
