What is it about?
A review for The Political Quarterly of Raj Patel and Jason W Moore's ground breaking economic thesis about capitalism's dependence on the cheapness of seven crucial resources: Nature, Money, Work, Care, Food, Energy and Lives. The authors combine the World-Systems theory of Immanuel Wallerstein with Karl Marx's early ‘ecological rift’ theory to analyse capitalism as a whole, closed ecosystem.

Perspectives
I enjoyed this book very much as it's free of the jargon and overused tropes that plague this literature
