Urban Dependency investigates the risks of urban populations that
cannot survive without the massive consumption of basic rural
products like food, textiles, fossil fuels, and other energy-rich
goods that are harvested by a shrinking rural base. Thomas and
Fulkerson argue that though essential, rural workers and
communities are poorly compensated for their labor that is both
dangerous and highly exploitative. While the rural population is
already shrinking, the authors predict that harsh
political-economic conditions will only fuel further rural-urban
migration, worsening the problem of urban dependency. The authors
apply their theory of the energy economy to explore a balance
between the supply and demand of energy resources that promotes
rural justice.
