Capitalism in the Web of Life : Ecology and the Accumulation of Capital Hardback
by Jason W. Moore
Hardback
Description
Integrating both social and historical factors, this radical analysis of the development of capitalism reveals the ever-deepening relationship between capital and ecologyFinance.
Climate. Food. Work. How are the crises 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 nature, including human nature.
Drawing on environmentalist, feminist, and Marxist thought, Moore offers a groundbreaking new synthesis: capitalism as a "world-ecology" of wealth, power, and nature.
Capitalism's greatest strength - and the source of its problems - is its capacity to create Cheap Natures: labor, food, energy, and raw materials.
That capacity is now in question. Rethinking capitalism through the pulsing and renewing dialectic of humanity-in-nature, Moore takes readers on a journey from the rise of capitalism to the modern mosaic of crisis.
Capitalism in the Web of Life shows how the critique of capitalism-in-nature - rather than capitalism and nature - is key to understanding our predicament, and to pursuing the politics of liberation in the century ahead.
