Corn and Capitalism: How a Botanical Bastard Grew to Global Dominance by Arturo Warman
English | Mar. 10, 2003 | ISBN: 0807854379, 0807827665 | 288 Pages | PDF | 2 MB

Exploring the history and importance of corn worldwide, Arturo Warman traces its development from a New World food of poor and despised peoples into a commodity that plays a major role in the modern global economy.
The book, first published in Mexico in 1988, combines approaches from anthropology, social history, and political economy to tell the story of corn, a "botanical bastard" of unclear origins that cannot reseed itself and is instead dependent on agriculture for propagation.
