Finance. 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.
