Description

Nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives: these are the seven things that have made our world and will shape its future. In making these things cheap, up to date commerce has transformed, governed, and devastated Earth. In A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things, Raj Patel and Jason W. Moore present a new solution to analyzing as of late’s planetary emergencies. Bringing the contemporary ecological research at the side of histories of colonialism, indigenous struggles, slave revolts, and other rebellions and uprisings, Patel and Moore demonstrate that during history, crises have at all times prompted fresh strategies to make the world cheap and secure for capitalism. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap things, innovative and systemic thinking is urgently required. This book proposes a radical new way of working out—and reclaiming—the planet within the turbulent twenty-first century.
