Climate Crisis and the Kleptocene

On the Commodification of Sentience

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Climate Crisis and the Kleptocene the author argues that the nullification of all value that competes with exchange value is inherent to the ontology of capitalism, including value associated with sentient life. Despite recent reform efforts to address the climate crisis, capitalism's kleptocratic logic is catastrophic for planetary stability.
