Jason W. Moore s scope is vast, and few could pull off so ambitious an analytical achievement.... There s enough scholarship, wit and insight... for a lifetime. Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved and The Value of Nothing

The essays in <i>Anthropocene or Capitalocene?</i> Provide an invaluable contribution to the debate over what we should call this strange new epoch, wrought by centuries of capitalist depredations upon our biosphere. As these ecosocialists so ably tell us, from their individual perspectives, that humanity's best hope to save the planet (and its species, including our own) relies on finding ways to replace an unsustainable Capitalocene with socialist relations of production and consumption. --Steve Knight, marxandphilosophy.org.uk

We had best start thinking in revolutionary terms about the forces turning the world upside down if we are to put brakes on the madness. A good place to begin is this book, whose remarkable authors bring together history and theory, politics and ecology, economy and culture, to force a deep look at the origins of global transformation. Richard Walker, professor emeritus of geography, UC Berkeley, and author of The Capitalist Imperative, The New Social Economy, The Conquest of Bread, and The Country in the City
