Product Information
The pig played a fundamental role in the German Democratic Republic's attempts to create and sustain a modern, industrial food system built on communist principles. By the mid-1980s, East Germany produced more pork per capita than West Germany and the UK, while also suffering myriad unintended consequences of this centrally planned practice: manure pollution, animal disease, and rolling food shortages. The pig is an incredibly adaptive animal, and historian Thomas Fleischman uncovers three types of pig that played roles in this history: the industrial pig, remade to suit the conditions of factory farming; the wild boar, whose overpopulation was a side effect of agricultural development rather than a conservation success story; and the garden pig, reflective of the regime's growing acceptance of private, small-scale farming within the planned economy. Fleischman chronicles East Germany's journey from family farms to factory farms, explaining how communist principles shaped the adoption of industrial agriculture practices. More broadly, Fleischman argues that agriculture under communism came to reflect standard practices of capitalist agriculture, and that the pork industry provides a clear illustration of this convergence. His analysis sheds light on the causes of the country's environmental and political collapse in 1989 and offers a warning about the high cost of cheap food in the present and future.

- d***u (198)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoReasonably priced, few scuffs on the book but that’s probably due to the packaging but no big deal. I ordered on the 28th and it arrived on the 8th which was a bit longer than I hoped, but not a big deal. Would recommend the seller.
- r***n (525)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoAccurately described in advert. Arrived in predicted timescale. Although only posted in a postal plastic bag, it arrived in good condition. A very informative book, with quality pictures and represents good value for money. Good service from this provider.
- f***e (516)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoArrived in excellent condition but in a flimsy plastic package. Took a longer time to arrive than with other sellers - my conjecture (from looking at feedback comments) is that the seller supplies from countries perhaps outside the UK also, although my book was posted from the UK. An enquiry made as to the time of arrival, was on the third request, met with a response asking me to supply my purchase details, which would have been readily available on Ebay anyway.
