A History of the World
in Seven Cheap Things, Raj Patel and Jason W. Moore
present a new approach to analyzing today’s planetary
emergencies. Bringing the latest ecological research together
with histories of colonialism, indigenous struggles, slave
revolts, and other rebellions and uprisings, Patel and
Moore demonstrate that throughout history, crises have
always prompted fresh strategies to make the world cheap and safe
for capitalism. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap things,
innovative and systemic thinking is urgently required. This book
proposes a radical new way of understanding—and reclaiming—the
planet in the turbulent twenty-first century.
