Flying the Coop: A Forum on Neoliberalism, the Market, and Nature
The introduction to this forum outlines the many ways neoliberal thinkers have apprehended nature over the past century and why this oeuvre has been largely overlooked by historians. The intellectual history of neoliberalism and the study of the environmental crisis have both become sprawling but largely unconnected academic corpuses. This forum has been assembled to act as a conduit and thus help cultivate a new subfield of neoliberal environmen…
Hayek against Malthus: Julian Simon’s Neoliberal Critique of Environmentalism
The transition to neoliberal hegemony during the last quarter of the twentieth century is generally portrayed as a contest between Hayekians and Keynesians. This portrayal overlooks the brief but potent effervescence of the neo-Malthusian movement. Biologists Garrett Hardin, Paul Ehrlich, and Donella Meadows led a social movement that pursued environmentalist governance wherein scarce resources and population growth were managed by command-and-co…
European Histories of the Economic and Environmental: Introduction
Five decades after the United Nation's first conference on the environment in 1972, the IPCC warned that ‘any further delay in concerted anticipatory global action on adaptation and mitigation will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all’. Faced with steeply rising greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating biodiversity loss and continued degradation of oceans, forests and soil, the s…
Rachel Rothschild, Poisonous Skies - Acid Rain and the Globalization of Pollution
The Humanization of Nature and Half-Earth Socialism
Edward Jenner took the long view. His 1798 treatise on vaccination, which reported a revolutionary new method of preventing smallpox, opened with a medical philosophy of history rather than a description of symptoms or a review of existing treatments. “The deviation of Man from the state in which he was originally placed by Nature seems to have proved to him a prolific source of Diseases,” he explained. By this he meant that infectious disease ul…
To Freeze the Thames
Are there hints of a solution to climate change in the Little Ice Age? Offering a critique of ‘steady-state’ ecological economics, green nuclear and artificial geo-engineering, Troy Vettese proposes the thought-experiment of a ‘half-earth’ alternative: agricultural land left to nature, egalitarian eco-austerity, green services and veganism
Herrenvolk Capitalism
Walter Johnson’s River of Dark Dreams is a book on the political economy of the Mississippi basin in the six decades before the American Civil War. The book’s three aims are to show, firstly, the racial, ecological, gender, and economic contradictions inherent within this society; secondly, the mechanisms of power maintaining a slave-holding oligarchy; and finally, its attempts at imperial expansion in the Gulf of Mexico. This book is exceptional…
Walter Johnson, River of Dark Dreams: Slavery and Empire in the Cotton Kingdom
Brian C. Black, Crude Reality: Petroleum in World History
Finally, a history of energy as it should be written
The Age of Smoke: Environmental Policy in Germany and the United States, 1880-1970
Frank Uekötter, a fellow at the Rachel Carson Centre in Munich, has written a study on German and American national styles of regulating air pollution. Uekötter’s thesis is that the fortunes of anti-pollution institutions founded in the Progressive era influenced the character of their modern manifestations during the transition to the post-1970 ‘ecological age’. In The Age of Smoke he has adopted institutional (what he terms ‘organizational’) an…
