"We had best start thinking in revolutionary terms about the forces
turning the world upside down if we are to put brakes on the
madness. A good place to begin is this book, whose remarkable
authors bring together history and theory, politics and ecology,
economy and culture, to force a deep look at the origins of global
transformation."
--Richard Walker, professor emeritus of geography, UC Berkeley, and
author of The Capitalist Imperative, The New Social Economy, The
Conquest of Bread, and The Country in the City "We live in the
Capitalocene, the contributors to this volume argue, and the
urgent, frightening and hopeful consequences of this reality-check
become apparent in chapters that force the reader to think. In a
time when there is generally no time or space to think... we need a
book like this more than ever."
--Bram B�scher, professor of sociology, Wageningen University, and
author of Transforming the Frontier: Peace Parks and the Politics
of Neoliberal Conservation in Southern Africa "In this pioneering
volume, leading critics call for a different conceptual framework,
which places global change in a new, ecologically-oriented, history
of capitalism--the Capitalocene. No scholar or activist interested
in the debate about the Anthropocene will want to miss this
volume."
--Fredrik Albritton Jonsson, associate professor of history,
University of Chicago, and author of Enlightenment's Frontier: The
Scottish Highlands and the Origins of Environmentalism "Jason W.
Moore's scope is vast, and few could pull off so ambitious an
analytical achievement.... There's enough scholarship, wit and
insight... for a lifetime."
--Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved and The Value of Nothing
"Jason W. Moore's radical and rigorous work is, and richly deserves
to be, agenda-setting."
--China Mi�ville, author of The City & the City
