Against the Grain: How Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization
In this book, Richard Manning narrates a fascinating revisionist history of agriculture, from the domestication of plants and animals ten thousand years ago to today's corporate megafarms. Instead of presenting a bucolic myth, Manning portrays an enterprise that was, from its inception, designed more for creating wealth and poverty than for feeding people and that, in the form of contemporary agribusiness, has helped to build some of the most familiar – and dysfunctional – features of our political and social landscape.
