      No some of the capital that paid for the pig’s upkeep during his build period was the proceeds from natural resources that were conserved during a season of plenty to be sold in a time of scarcity. If you want to call eating less in the summertime “labor” with a capital L you can while I sit here and laugh. Capital is just liquidity. You can generate it by labor but that doesn’t make it the same as labor or the property of others who have labor to give.
