SUMMARY:A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things
DESCRIPTION:with Jason W. Moore \nNature\, money\, work\, care\, food\, energy\, and lives: these are the seven things that have made our world and will shape its future. In making these things cheap\, modern commerce has transformed\, governed\, and devastated Earth. Jason W. Moore presents a new book authored with Raj Patel\, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things.  \nBringing the latest ecological research together with histories of colonialism\, indigenous struggles\, slave revolts\, and other rebellions and uprisings\, Moore and Patel demonstrate that throughout the history of capitalism\, crises have always prompted fresh efforts to restore the seven cheap things – regardless of the cost to working people and the environment. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap things\, they propose radical new ways of understanding—and reclaiming—the planet in the turbulent twenty-first century. \nJason W. Moore teaches world history and world-ecology at Binghamton University\, and is coordinator of the World-Ecology Research Network. He is the author of Capitalism in the Web of Life and numerous award-winning essays in environmental history\, political economy\, and social theory.

SUMMARY:No Blood for Oil!
DESCRIPTION:An author presentation with discussion\, co-sponsored with Autonomedia \nNo Blood For Oil!\nEssays on Energy\, Class Struggle and War 1998–2016\nGeorge Caffentzis \nThe oil industry is at the center of the major struggles of our time\, but is Marxist theory able to explain its behavior? The oil industry presents a paradox to Marxist theory.  How is it that oil companies employ relatively few workers and invest in a relatively large amount of machinery\, but still are the largest and most profitable companies on the planet? It should be otherwise\, if profits come from exploiting worker’s labor. In his book\, No Blood for Oil\, George Caffentzis shows how Marxism resolves this paradox and accounts for the peculiar role that the oil industry plays in contemporary capitalism as generator of ecological devastation\, war and exploitation. Come to discuss the struggle over the exchange of blood for oil. \nGeorge Caffentzis is emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Southern Maine. He has taught courses on oil and class struggle in many venues in Africa\, South America and Europe. He is a co-founder of the Midnight Notes Collective and is the author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work\, Machines\, and the Crisis of Capitalism (2013) and Exciting the Industry of Mankind: George Berkeley’s Philosophy of Money (2000).  \n“The papers in this collection are weapons we use to deconstruct the politics of war and oil\, to uncover the multilayered class meaning of contemporary energy policy\, and are the treasure that gives us a different sense of alternatives. Caffentzis’ critical understanding dissolves the fatalism of peak-oil arguments and posits our struggles to reclaim the commons as the real limit of capitalist use of energy.” — Massimo de Angelis\, author of The Beginning of History
