Reviews

With A Social Ecology of Capital, Eric Pineault provides a remarkably insightful analysis of the complex interface between capital and nature. This is indispensable reading for scholars, students and activists.' -- William Carroll, Professor of Sociology, University of Victoria, Canada 'A Social Ecology of Capital is essential reading for all interested in ecological crises, limits to growth, and alternatives. Its materialist-feminist analysis of growth as biophysical expansion and accumulation presents a much-needed foundation for understanding our current predicament.' -- Matthias Schmelzer, author of The Hegemony of Growth
