National government in the casino
This commentary engages with Andy Pike’s recent book, Financialization and Local Statecraft. In it, we raise questions about the role of localism in the UK, the status of taxation and monetary policy, and the crisis of governance that stems from the fiscal landscape Pike lays out in his book. Finally, we close by addressing a question that guides Pike’s own work: “Is it national rather than local government that has taken the local public service…
Beyond Flexible Accumulation
In his pioneering work on British Columbia's forest products industry, Roger Hayter and his colleagues compellingly demonstrated the remaking of environmental economic geographies through the shift from Fordist models of production toward “flexible accumulation.” Taking inspiration from and extending this work, I argue that the financialization of the US timber industry in recent decades has presented Canadian firms with novel avenues for flexibi…
Critical Geographies of Green Hydrogen Transitions
Green hydrogen has been touted as “the holy grail of decarbonization” (Scita et al. 2020) due to its perceived versatility and promise as a viable alternative for difficult to decarbonize sectors, including shipping, trucking, aviation, iron and steel, and chemicals. Despite such optimism, many green hydrogen projects have recently failed. Beyond technical analysis in engineering and economics disciplines, geographers ask pertinent questions abou…

Valuing timber, making financial assets
Plantation pasts, plantation futures
Sugar plantations have fundamentally shaped water use in Maui, Hawai'i for over 100 years, with tremendous resulting impacts on ecosystems and Native Hawaiian communities. In this paper, we build on literature on the plantationocene and the political lives of infrastructure to examine plantation irrigation infrastructure. We center Maui's vast water conveyance ditch system as a means of understanding how infrastructure continues plantation logics…
Connecting country and city
In this review, we bridge recent studies on the political economy of urban and rural real property ownership, focusing on the US. While there are many parallels and interlinkages between urban and rural phenomena, we note that the field generally produces a different literature for each space: one largely about urban housing and another about rural land. We argue that foregrounding their common legal status as "real property" can help develop new…
Fiscal geographies between the crisis and the pandemic
This paper serves as an introduction to the themed issue on "Post-Crisis Fiscal Geographies." In it, we review the growing body of work on fiscal policy and geography, with particular emphasis on taxation and tax policy. We argue that geographers and other scholars of political economy should pay greater attention to the state's active capacities, particularly during the long troughs between the crises which tend to receive the bulk of scholarly …

Just water transitions at the end of sugar in Maui, Hawai'i
In December 2016, Hawai'i saw its last sugar harvest on a 36,000-acre plantation in Maui. In the preceding decades, Native Hawaiians had struggled to regain their water rights from a failing sugar industry that had dewatered the island's streams for centuries. Now, with the end of sugar, Native Hawaiian and environmental groups are working to restore traditional practices and diversified agriculture-goals which hinge upon changing water managemen…
Computational parasites and hydropower
Over the past three years, the dams of Chelan County, Washington, its watershed and fish, the electrical grid and the laborers who maintain it, and cleared land with warehouses filled with computers, have all been enrolled as part of the decentralized digital infrastructure of Bitcoin. While popular accounts of the Bitcoin network correctly report the massive scale of energy it consumes and its potential environmental ramifications, in practice, …
Un/Making Assets
This article contributes to contemporary debates within the financialization and assetization literatures by examining the sale of tax credits in U.S. property markets over the last twenty years. Whereas the vast majority of research on financial assets focuses on the income-generating aspects of property, this article considers a more holistic approach to assets. Through detailed empirical analysis of syndication in historic tax credit and conse…
Locating timber in ‘institutional grade investment geographies’
Performing Developability
The majority of private conservation in the United States today is financed by the state and federal tax systems (Kay, 2016), with conservation organizations and private landowners relying in particular on what is one of the “most generous charitable deductions in the federal tax code” (Elkind, 2017). While this has incentivized huge amounts of land protection, it has also increasingly attracted fraudulent activity. In this paper, I look at two c…

Revisiting value in capitalist natures
Prompted by a ‘further engagement’ piece written by Elisa Greco and Elia Apostolopoulou, we revisit our published articles, ‘Value in Capitalist Natures: An Emerging Framework’ and ‘Valuing Nature Within and Beyond Capitalism: A Response’. First, we address concerns over our conceptual understandings of the relationships between value and nature, and we raise some of the opportunities and challenges presented by orienting nature–society scholarsh…
Diversity, representation, and the limits of engaged pluralism in (economic) geography
Within geography writ large, and economic geography in particular, there has been increasing interest in ‘engaged pluralism’ – defined by its proponents as lively and respectful engagement across theoretical, methodological, and topical lines – to increase diversity and build mutual respect among scholars. Drawing on feminist and postcolonial scholarship, we offer a sympathetic critique of engaged pluralism, grounded in a review of publishing tre…
Fiscal geographies
As the state’s primary means of both redistributing wealth and incentivizing private investment, tax plays an outsized role in a range of critical urban processes, including (re)development, gentrification, financialization, and local and regional governance. We argue, through reference to existing literature in urban and economic geography, as well as our own research on taxation and the state, that urban scholarship could benefit by close and c…

A Hostile Takeover of Nature? Placing Value in Conservation Finance
Conservation finance is a nascent field that claims to “deliver maximum conservation impacts, while, at the same time, generating returns for investors” (Credit Suisse/WWF). While geographers have questioned the ability of conservation finance to play a significant role in international biodiversity conservation, an emerging cohort of boutique private equity firms are actively generating returns on North American conservation projects. This raise…
On economic geography's “movers” to business and management schools
Valuing nature within and beyond capitalism
This paper is a response to commentaries on our article entitled ‘Value in capitalist natures: an emerging framework’ (Kay and Kenney-Lazar, 2017). We argue that the responses to our initial paper served to broaden our proposed framework and to underscore the need for a unified, but diverse, approach to nature–society studies with value at its center. Extending the argument from the initial article, we continue to see potential for value to act a…
Codebook Development for Team-Based Qualitative Analysis
One of the key elements in qualitative data analysis is the systematic coding of text (Strauss and Corbin 1990:57 60; Miles and Huberman 1994:56). Codes are the building blocks for theory or model building and the foundation on which the analyst’s arguments rest. Implicitly or explicitly, they embody the assumptions underlying the analysis. Given the context of the interdisciplinary nature of research at the Centers for Disease Control and Preven…
Value in capitalist natures
This article draws heavily upon a discussion among 11 leading scholars in nature–society geography to explore the current and historical relationships between value, nature, and capitalism. Prompted by a provocation from Robertson and Wainwright (2013) that political ecologists can no longer afford to avoid engaging with the tricky topic of Marxian value theory, we address the importance of the concept of value for contemporary work within geogra…

Rural Rentierism and the Financial Enclosure of Maine's Open Lands Tradition
This article looks at the changing nature of property access regimes in northeastern Maine. The state's unique "open lands" tradition has come under threat as a result of the large-scale restructuring of the timber industry from vertically integrated forest products companies toward individual and institutional investor-owners. Using a large conservation project in the town of Grand Lake Stream as a case study, I argue that new investor-owners ha…
Breaking the bundle of rights
This paper bridges critical legal geography and geographical work on neoliberal natures to illustrate the vital role that US law has played in reimagining the values of nature as divisible from their supporting contexts and the spatial outcomes of this "individuation." The development and widespread use of conservation easements by nonprofit land trust groups serves as a precedent-setting case study. I review the two major pieces of enabling legi…
