Ecologically Unequal Exchange offers a series of creative, insightful, and empirically-grounded accounts of how capitalism forges destructive and unequal developments, with gruesome impacts on humans and the rest of nature.” (Jason W. Moore, Professor of Sociology, Binghamton University; author of Capitalism in the Web of Life)
