Description

Capital fósil by Andreas Malm explores the origins of the modern energy system and how it came to rely on fossil fuels. The author argues that the shift from traditional sources like water power to coal-based steam engines was driven by the desire for greater control over industrial production. The book examines this transition in detail, tracing its roots back to 19th-century Britain and following its impact on global energy markets. From the early days of coal mining to the current era of renewable energy, Malm sheds new light on the complex relationships between technology, economics, and politics that have shaped our energy landscape. By understanding how we came to rely on fossil fuels, Malm contends that it is possible to imagine a different future - one in which human societies can reduce their impact on the environment.
