Modern civilization and the social reproduction of capitalism are
bound inextricably with fossil fuel consumption. But as carbon
energy resources become scarcer, what implications will this have
for energy-intensive modes of life? Can renewable energy sustain
high levels of accumulation?? Or will we witness the end of
existing capitalist economies? This book provides an innovative and
timely study that mobilizes a new theory of capitalism to explain
the rise and fall of petro-market civilization. Di Muzio
investigates how theorists of political economy have largely taken
energy for granted and illuminates how the exploitation of fossil
fuels increased the universalization and magnitude of capital
accumulation. He then examines the likelihood of renewable
resources providing a feasible alternative and asks whether they
can beat peak oil prices to sustain food production, health care,
science and democracy. Using the capital as power framework, this
book considers the unevenly experienced consequences of monetizing
fossil fuels for people and the planet.
