Power, Profit, and Prometheanism, Part II: Superexploitation in the Web of Life
everyday production of subsistence meshes with the intergenerational production of "fresh life in procreation [:] social in the sense that it denotes the co-operation of several individuals, no matter under what conditions, in what manner and to what end" (Marx and Engels 2010: 43; see esp. Seccombe 1992). This is a necessary insight as we envision socialist reconstruction in the wake of capitalogenic ecocide. Cooperation is a "productive force" …
Power, Profit, and Prometheanism, Part I: Method, Ideology, and the Violence of the Civilizing Project
No civilization has been more Promethean than capitalism in its aspirations. Named after the Greek Titan who gave fire to humankind, Prometheanism is understood as a kind of environmental-but not (necessarily) environmentalist-strategy for the domination and management of something usually called Nature. Unfortunately, the discussion often stops there. But if Prometheanism is domination, How does it turn a profit? This is an elementary, yet frequ…
How to Read Capitalism in the Web of Life: Towards a World-Historical Materialism in the Web of Life
Jason W. Moore argues for a world-historical materialism in the web of life, proposing a shift from the Cartesian dualism of Society and Nature to the oikos of oikeios, encompassing the totality of human and extra-human natures. He critiques Cartesian dualism for its inability to address the climate crisis and other socio-ecological challenges, advocating for a relational approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of humans and the biosphere…
World-ecology: A Global Conversation
Jason W. Moore replies to Gennaro Avallone’s questions and succeeds in simultaneously providing an introductory presentation of world-ecology’s fundamental concepts and a critical discussion of some problematic issues recently emerged within the political ecology interna-tional debate. Amongst these latter are his relationship with the theorists of metabolic rift and the historical novelty represented by negative-value
Value, nature, and the vortex of accumulation
Earth is deeply bound up with the accumulation of capital, “the capitalist vortex.” We reshape Marxist economics to fully acknowledge how the web of life is fundamental to that vortex. Labour and extra-human nature are indelibly joined in producing “free gifts” of surplus, through three mechanisms (primitive accumulation, commodity production, and capitalization) and three geographic frontiers (extensive, internal, and intensive). Based on this, …
Value in the web of life, or, Why world history matters to geography
Critical geography as a field has yet to reckon with a fundamental geographical blind spot: the historical-geographical patterns of capitalism as a whole. There has been a steady—and studied—reluctance to grapple with capitalism as a historical-geographical place. A geography of value relations must proceed from the unities-in-diversity of capitalism’s combined and uneven spatiality. If value relations are central to grasping the geographies of p…
The Capitalocene Part II: Accumulation by Appropriation and the Centrality of Unpaid Work/Energy
This essay – Part II – reconceptualizes the past five centuries as the Capitalocene, the ‘age of capital’. The essay advances two interconnected arguments. First, the exploitation of labor-power depends on a more expansive process: the appropriation of unpaid work/energy delivered by ‘women, nature, and colonies’ (Mies). Second, accumulation by appropriation turns on the capacity of state–capital–science complexes to make nature legible. If the s…
The Capitalocene, Part I: On the Nature and Origins of Our Ecological Crisis
This essay, in two parts, argues for the centrality of historical thinking in coming to grips with capitalism's planetary crises of the twenty-first century. Against the Anthropocene's shallow historicization, I argue for the Capitalocene, understood as a system of power, profit and re/production in the web of life. In Part I, I pursue two arguments. First, I situate the Anthropocene discourse within Green Thought's uneasy relationship to the Hum…
Metabolic rift or metabolic shift? dialectics, nature, and the world-historical method
El fin de la naturaleza barata: O Cómo Aprendí a Dejar De Preocuparme Por "El" Medioambiente Y Amar La Crisis Del Capitalismo
Afronta actualmente el capitalismo el "fin de la naturaleza barata"? Si así es, ¿qué podría significar esto y cuáles son las implicaciones para el futuro? El autor argumenta que estamos presenciando el fin de la naturaleza barata en un sentido histórico específico, no como una reafirmación de "límites de crecimiento" externos, sino como el agotamiento de las relaciones de valor que han restaurado periódicamente los "Cuatro Baratos": trabajo, alim…
Cheap Food and Bad Climate: From Surplus Value to Negative Value in the Capitalist World-Ecology
Capitalism, understood as a world-ecology that joins accumulation, power, and nature in dialectical unity, has been adept at evading so-called Malthusian dynamics through an astonishing historical capacity to produce, locate, and occupy cheap natures external to the system. In recent decades, the last frontiers have closed, and this astonishing historical capacity has withered. This "withering" is perhaps most evident in capitalism's failure to o…

Introduction: The World-Historical Imagination
The Long Twentieth Century is one of those classics that one "reads af' rather more than one "reads through." It is a book that one never really finishes reading. The present collection of essays is testament to this. Giovanni Arrighi always sought to answer the big questions of modernity -of civilizations, of world power, of class struggles, of capital -and he always sought to pose more questions than any single text, indeed any one scholar, cou…
Ecology, Capital, and the Nature of Our Times: Accumulation & Crisis in the Capitalist World-Ecology
In this essay, I elaborate the possibilities for a unified theory of historical capitalism - one thatviews the accumulation of capital and the production of nature (humans included!) asdialectically constituted. In this view, the modern world-system is a capitalist world-ecology, aworld-historical matrix of human- and extra-human nature premised on endless commodification.The essay is organized in three movements. I begin by arguing for a reading…
Transcending the metabolic rift: A Theory of Crises in the Capitalist World-Ecology
The theory of metabolic rift is among the most dynamic perspectives in critical environmental studies today. This essay argues that the problem with the metabolic rift perspective is not that it goes too far, but that it does not go far enough. I take a 'use and transcend' approach that takes metabolic rift theory as an indispensable point of departure in building a unified theory of capitalist development - one that views the accumulation of cap…
This lofty mountain of silver could conquer the whole world: Potosí and the political ecology of underdevelopment, 1545-1800
By the 1570's, Potosí, and its silver, had become the hub of a commodity revolution that reorganized Peru's peoples and landscapes to serve capital and empire. This was a decisive moment in the world ecological revolution of the long seventeenth century. Primitive accumulation in Peru was particularly successful: the mita's spatial program enabled the colonial state to marshal a huge supply of low-cost and tractable labor in the midst of sustaine…
The End of the Road? Agricultural Revolutions in the Capitalist World-Ecology, 1450-2010
Does the present socio-ecological impasse - captured in popular discussions of the 'end' of cheap food and cheap oil - represent the latest in a long history of limits and crises that have been transcended by capital, or have we arrived at an epochal turning point in the relation of capital, capitalism and agricultural revolution? For the better part of six centuries, the relation between world capitalism and agriculture has been a remarkable one…
Amsterdam is Standing on Norway' Part II: The Global North Atlantic in the Ecological Revolution of the Long Seventeenth Century
Amsterdam is standing on Norway'- this was a popular saying in the Dutch Republic of the seventeenth century. There was more than one inflection to the phrase. Amsterdam was, in the first instance, built atop a subterranean forest of Norwegian origin. But southern Norway was also a vital resource zone, subordinated to Amsterdam-based capital. This paper follows the movement of strategic commodity frontiers within early modern Europe from the stan…
Amsterdam is Standing on Norway' Part I: The Alchemy of Capital, Empire and Nature in the Diaspora of Silver, 1545-1648
In the first of two essays in this Journal, I seek to unify the historical geography of early modern 'European expansion' (Iberia and Latin America) with the environmental history of the 'transition to capitalism' (northwestern Europe). The expansion of Europe's overseas empires and the transitions to capitalism within Europe were differentiated moments within the geographical expansion of commodity production and exchange - what I call the commo…
Ecological Crises and the Agrarian Question in World-Historical Perspective
We are here to talk about the Agrarian Question, or rather, Agrarian Questions. The plural is important. We live in a modern world-system of unprecedented unevenness and complexity. This much, we all know. At the same time, it is no less important, I should add, to see this diversity from what Lukács once called the "point of view of totality."1 The Agrarian Questions are not exclusive but rather mutually constitutive. However, they are not const…
Capitalism as World-Ecology: Braudel and Marx on Environmental History
This essay considers the relevance of Fernand Braudel’s world-historical studies for the theory and practice of environmental history. Arguing against the conventional viewthat Braudel regarded the environment as a backdrop, the essay points to his sophisticated layering of time, space, and nature in which society and ecology actively shape each other. Braudel’s greatest historical-geographical insight is the idea that world-economies are not sim…

Remaking Work, Remaking Space: Spaces of Production and Accumulation in the Reconstruction of American Capitalism, 1865–1920
The era of US capitalist development between 1865 and 1920 offers a good opportunity to analyze the relational nature of social change at multiple scales precisely because it was a time of transition, for US and world capitalism alike. Existing accounts of the transition to monopoly capitalism in the US have focused on one or two geographical scales, such as the national economy or the shop floor. In this literature, scales are essentially treate…

Alf Hornborg says many useful things in his article, Ecosystems and World Systems: Accumulation as an Ecological Process. His effort to ground the notion of capital accumulation in the physical realities of ecology and thermodynamics is a much-needed corrective to nature-blind studies of capitalism.

Psychopathology in adopted and nonadopted children: A clinical sample
The relationships of adoptive status to presenting psychopathology and to demographic and psychosocial variables were examined in a large sample of children and adolescents who attended psychiatric outpatient services over a 14-year period. Adopted boys and girls were both at increased risk of disruptive behavior, including conduct disorders and ADHD. Age at time of adoption was not related to psychopathology
Environmental Crises and the Metabolic Rift in World-Historical Perspective
This article proposes a new theoretical framework to study the dialectic of capital and nature over the longue duree of world capitalism. The author proposes that today’s global ecological crisis has its roots in the transition to capitalism during the long sixteenth century. The emergence of capitalism marked not only a decisive shift in the arenas of politics, economy, and society, but a fundamental reorganization of world ecology, characterize…

Capitalist Development in World Historical Perspective
The particular way in which we periodize capitalist history largely depends on the temporal and spatial horizons of our observations and on the conceptual frameworks that underlie those observations. Most periodizations have been based on observations and conceptual frameworks that refer implicitly or explicitly to national dynamics of capitalist development. This is a perfectly legitimate and useful way of analyzing and periodizing capitalist de…

The Crisis of Feudalism: An Environmental History
Environmental historymayhelp explain feudalism’s demise and capitalism’s ascent in the 16th century. Medieval Europe was riven by profound socio-ecological contradictions. Feudalism’s environmental degradation pivoted on the lord-peasant relationship, which limited the possibilities for reinvestment in the land. Consequently, feudalism exhausted the soil and the labor power from which it derived revenues, rendering the population vulnerable to di…
