1979—1980年,随着周期性世界经济危机的爆发,资本主义的长期农业危机重新加剧。尽管1983年以来经济出现回升,农业危机仍在继续发展。其起因归根结底在于利润对资本主义生产的支配。由于粮食生产的目的首先也是要使资本增殖,而不是满足人类需要,因此,一方面大量的粮食销售不出去,同时在全世界的许多国家却有几亿人在忍饥挨饿。 From 1979 to 1980, with the outbreak of a cyclical world economic crisis, the long-term agrarian crisis in capitalism was renewed. Despite the economic recovery since 1983, the agricultural crisis continues to develop. Its causes are, in the final analysis, the domination of profits on capitalist production. Since the goal of food production is, above all, to enable capital to multiply rather than meet human needs, on the one hand large quantities of food are sold out and at the same time hundreds of millions of people in many countries around the world are starving.
