Description
A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things: A Radical New Approach to Understanding the Planet in the 21st Century The seven things that have shaped our world - nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives - are now facing unprecedented crises. In this groundbreaking book, Raj Patel and Jason W. Moore present a new approach to analyzing the planetary emergencies of our time. By bringing together the latest ecological research with histories of colonialism, indigenous struggles, and other rebellions and uprisings, the authors demonstrate that crises have always prompted fresh strategies to make the world cheap and safe for capitalism. As the world grapples with the consequences of making these seven things cheap, innovative and systemic thinking is urgently required. This book proposes a radical new way of understanding - and reclaiming - the planet in the turbulent twenty-first century.
