Capitalism in the Web of Life

Ecology and the Accumulation of Capital

Beschreibung

Finance. Climate. Food. Class. How are the crises-and politics-of the twenty-first century connected? In Capitalism in the Web of Life, Jason W. Moore argues that the sources of today's global turbulence have a common cause: capitalism as a way of organizing planetary life. Drawing on environmentalist, feminist, and Marxist thought, Moore offers a groundbreaking synthesis: capitalism as a "world-ecology" of power, profit, and life.

Rezensionen

If nothing else, the climate crisis demonstrates that the history of capitalism is a thoroughly 'environmental' one. This energizing book proposes an inventive framework for making sense of that past, and for orienting ourselves as we get down to the business of changing the future. Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine
