Jason Moore Podcasts
-
How can we understand the connections between the climate crisis, structural racism, the subjugation of women and the exploitation of the working class? Is the planet really “running out”? In his book Capitalism in the Web of Life, environmental historian Jason Moore creates a theoretical and methodological framework capable of taking seriously the fact that everything is connected all of the time. Moore shows us that thinking of nature as a thing that can be used, taken and owned, a place that can be mapped, measured and conquered, rather than a throbbing web of vibrant interconnected life, is completely central to capitalism. Moore argues that capitalism isn’t just an economic system, rather, it is a way of organizing nature and must be both understood and challenged as such.
In this first ever episode in English of Krakelpodden Anastasiya, Fredrika and Annika attempt to explain some central points of Moores book, and grapple with the political implications of his theoretical contributions.
