This book applies an approach to study the externalization of cost
under capitalism in the production of Argentine yerba mate, an
infusion with stimulant properties long used by indigenous peoples.
Consumption in today's globalized economy makes it difficult to
understand the consequences of our actions across the globe. A
political-ecological lens, informed by the work of Robert Sack and
Ian Cook, can help guide an analysis that geographically
reconstructs supply chains and reveal the realities of consumption.
The use of yerba mate has become a cornerstone of Argentine society
and identity, and yerba mate processors are working to expand
exports globally. In Argentina's Misiones Province, the heart of
yerba mate production, the true costs of production are borne by
the children, the impoverished laborers, and the environment of
Argentina's Atlantic Rainforest. These consequences of modernity,
along with the efforts of an NGO to remedy them, are presented and
assessed.
