In 2013 Hoenig's firm became the first hedge fund to advertise [4] in the US since the 1930s.

Hormel, a former Chicago slaughterhouse employee, took out a small loan to open his own meat production company in Austin, Minnesota in 1891. There he introduced the first mass market canned ham product, Hormel Flavor-Sealed Ham, and then the better-known Spam, which debuted in 1937 and helped feed American soldiers overseas. In 1942, George’s son Jay used the family fortune to convert old horse stables into a high-tech (for the time) space of experimentation in agricultural science and medicine. Jay’s newly formed Hormel Institute joined forces with the nearby Mayo Clinic and the National Heart Institute in 1949 to develop a “miniature swine” that could serve in biomedical research.

Capitalist Pigs covers the Colonial period to the present in the United States and is organized thematically rather than chronologically. Anderson covers such topics as free-range hogs and their influence on early settlements, pork consumption and its shifting role from frontier and working class food to re-branded “other white meat,” early industrialization of pork production and husbandry, including a discussion of hog cholera and enclosure, the role of the hog as garbage disposal, from our earliest urban areas to the industrialized present, and finally with a discussion of the modern industrialization of the hog, including changing its very physique to match modern consumer tastes and the controversial rise of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Hoenig's second book, The Pit: Photographic Portrait of the Chicago Trading Floor was published in April, 2017, inspired by the 1903 Frank Norris novel of the same name. J. L. Anderson teaches history at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta. Prior to his academic appointment, he was a museum educator and administrator, cultivating a personal and professional interest in swine at the agricultural museums where he wor Mayakovsky – Every absence is the joy of enemies, but hero of labour is a blow against bourgeois By Vladimir Mayakovsky.

You might wonder: has China found the formula for global ascendancy that eluded the Soviet Union of Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev? Yet, of greater interest, and import, is that the China of the new Great Helmsman, Xi Jinping, a one-party Communist dictatorship, coexists with hundreds of Chinese billionaires. That’s awesome. As is the fact that Julia, who spent a full year reporting this challenging story, promptly heard from a Senate committee that will use her work in their own investigation of Universal Health Services.

Cooper’s words—have become the dominant subject of study today. On the one hand, the prohibitively high costs and ethical misgivings associated with nonhuman primates pushed researchers toward alternatives. But even more significantly, primates are typically slow and scant breeders. Larger pigs with human-sized organs, on the other hand, could be raised cheaply and economically in large numbers.

Also, today’s billionaires’ boys club has come to understand how to make its astonishing wealth acceptable, by ingratiating themselves with their old ideological enemies. Between 2014 and 2015, members of the 8chan messageboard /leftypol/ began using Porky as a symbol for capitalist actors, i.e. bosses, CEOs, politicians, etc. While these threads are no longer available, anecdotal evidence (the formation of /leftypol/ and mentions on 4chan) put Porky's usage as beginning at this time. Although Capitalist Pigs doesn’t quite live up to the premise of its fantastic title, it is a worthy combination of agriculture and food history - combining the history of industrial technology and consumer uses of hogs throughout the entirety of American history. Food and agriculture historians in particular will find much of use, but American social, environmental, rural, urban, and Civil War historians will also enjoy the read.

Atwood, however, did not invent pigoons out of whole cloth. Instead, the dream of exchanging organs between species ( xeno – as compared with conventional allo- transplantation) has been vigorously pursued since the early 1990s. As transplant pioneer Thomas Starzl and colleagues opened their 1997 article, “The Future of Transplantation”: “Further real growth of transplantation will depend on the use of animal organs.” With limited donations but ever-escalating demand for organs, alternatives appeared necessary. But those dreams have stumbled on a dauntless procession of scientific obstacles, with graft rejection (when the body fights off a new organ as alien) and potentially zoonotic diseases (those that transfer between species) at the top of the list. Many in the field, and others who left for greener pastures, joke that “xenotransplantation is the future of transplantation and always will be.” Yet comparable claims of similarity could be made—and were—for dogs, sheep, goats, horses, and a great many other species besides. Using pigs was partly a matter of personal or laboratory style; not so coincidentally, many institutions that adopted this style were located in or near major agricultural centers. And while “experimental” pigs were promised different futures than their table-bound kin, both would fall prey to the same developments in veterinary and agricultural knowledge. Initially a spinoff of industrial production, like fetal pigs, miniature swine generated new synergies between agriculture and basic science: laboratory studies produced improvements in pork production and vice versa.

O ne unnerving version of that future appears in Margaret Atwood’s post-apocalyptic gem Oryx and Crake (2004). In the novel, a biotech-dominated community promises its residents extended life through an unlimited supply of transplantable organs from “pigoons,” transgenic pigs holding multiple “humanized” kidneys. Fourteen years after Oryx and Crake , a New York Times Magazine piece proposed that genetically engineered pigs could make the “donor-organ shortage… a thing of the past.” As one Vox article put it, “It’s Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future, and we’re just living in it.” And it is only because Mother Jones is funded primarily by donations from readers that we can mount ambitious, yearlong— or more—investigations like these two stories that are making waves.

Project MUSE Mission

Capitalist Pigs is well-researched and the broad chronology of the book provides a sweeping view of the influence of the hog on American culture and development throughout the centuries, giving needed context to historians of all stripes. Anderson is at his most compelling when he includes the voices of marginalized people and his sections on indigenous populations, enslaved people, and the Civil Rights movement are among his best. For urban and environmental historians, the discussion of the role of hogs in reshaping the landscape and the transition of urban spaces to exclude them, even as they continued to operate as waste disposal systems, will be of particular interest. Twentieth century historians, particularly agriculture historians, will be impressed by his discussion of the industrialization of hog production and marketing from the 1940s on. That’s what a civil rights lawyer wrote to Julia Lurie, the day after her major investigation into a psychiatric hospital chain that uses foster children as “cash cows” published, letting her know he was using her findings that same day in a hearing to keep a child out of one of the facilities we investigated. In 2014, Hoenig was an informal advisor of Royalty Exchange a leading platform for buying and selling intellectual property. The Yale researchers who reanimated pig brains in 2019 explained that their research did not involve the killing of any actual pigs, but “used brain tissue retrieved after death from pigs used for food production.” Though around 300 pig brains from USDA-approved food production facilities were used in the research, the authors assure readers : “No animals died for this study.” Research is positioned as an act of salvaging waste; the killing happens elsewhere. The pig brain tissue was left over, and some good ought to come of it. This was Baumgartner’s logic exactly, and it is an explanation that may allow scientists to avoid stringent animal testing regulations. However, they did it, America’s most successful capitalists have learned the lesson some previous generations of capitalists did not — how to preserve their wealth, privilege and economic power and avoid such derisive terms as ‘capitalist pig’.
