Capital is pushing into motion ever larger global material flows.
In doing so it has come to depend on massive expenditures of
energy, putting to work fossil fuels and the machines they animate
to transform the world, accumulate power and grow the economy. The
ecological relations and crises of today's societies are driven by
the processes of extraction of the elements that come together as a
throughput of material and energy flows controlled by capital and
shaped by its imperative of valorization. In A Social Ecology of
Capital, Eric Pineault proposes an original model of the fossil
social metabolism that has sustained the growth of advanced
capitalism in the last century. Drawing on ecological economics and
critical political economy, the book analyses how the social
structures of accumulation, production, consumption and waste
determine and regulate the material flow and the accumulation of
material artifacts. Showing how social relations shape the ecology
of capital, the book highlights the contradictions humanity now
faces.
