Unearthing The Capitalocene: Towards A Reparations Ecology

Dear Friend, Jason W. Moore & Raj Patel coins  digs into the "Capitalocene" and suggests some solutions. They write, we argue that what changed is capitalism, that modern history has, since the 1400s, unfolded in what is better termed the Capitalocene.
