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.
