BIOCAPITAL — [Noun] Biological processes, materials, or life itself regarded as an economic commodity or a form of capital. From the combining form bio- (from Greek bios, meaning 'life') and capital (from Latin capitalis, meaning 'of the head' or 'principal', referring to wealth or assets). Unlike “bioprospecting,” which denotes the specific hunt for monetizable organisms, or “biotechnology,” which names the toolkit of manipulation, biocapital is the encompassing speculative logic that renders life fungible. It is the patent on a drought-resistant gene, the speculative futures market in a standing forest's carbon, and the actuarial pricing of a genetic predisposition—a quiet, relentless audit that tallies vitality not in heartbeats, but in potential yield.
