Offering a thought provoking theoretical conversation around
ecological crisis and natural resource extraction, this book
suggests that we are on a trajectory geared towards total
extractivism guided by the mythological Worldeater. The authors
discuss why and how we have come to live in this catastrophic
predicament, rooting the present in an original perspective that
animates the forces of global techno-capitalist development. They
argue that the Worldeater helps us make sense of the insatiable
forces that transform, convert and consume the world. The book
combines this unique approach with detailed academic review of
critical agrarian studies and political ecology, the militarization
of nature and the conventional and 'green' extraction nexus. It
seeks radical reflection on the role people play in the
construction and perpetuation of these crises, and concludes with
some suggestions on how to tackle them.
