Contra el Bien General is a short book by Detroit, Michigan-based artists Aeron Bergman & Alejandra Salinas consisting of one chapter appropriated from Karl Marx’s 1893 text Das Kapital: Kritik der politischen Oekonomie (Capital: A Critique of Political Economy) and The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) photos printed with Pantone 'Old Money Green.'
Bergman & Salinas build links between a chapter of Das Kapital outlining the early capitalist expropriation of farmers from common held lands with public domain photos of the USDA research office.
