This is not a call for green tech or climate austerity. It is a call to end the cheapening of life and labor once and for all — and to build a different world inside the one that is dying. From a public lecture by Jason W. Moore, “Climate, Capitalism, and Geohistorical Crises, School of Architecture, ETH-Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich), 25 February, 2019.
Jason W. Moore teaches world history at Binghamton University and coordinates the World-Ecology Research Collective. He is the author of Capitalism in the Web of Life and, with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things.
Key ideas for this lecture are drawn from Moore’s books and essays, most freely available on his website jasonwmoore.com, including “The Capitalocene” essays, “Opiates of the Environmentalists,” and “Our Capitalogenic World.” 💬 Is the climate crisis anthropogenic — or capitalogenic? Are we living on Spaceship Earth… or Slaveship Earth?
