This book fills a gap, as it allows to understand the foundations for waging a survival struggle against an encroaching climate. It will help readers to penetrate the systematic nature of the war against Nature and it can be a very useful tool in strengthening the movements to stop the assault -- Saul Landau, Vice Chair of the Institute for Policy Studies, Berkeley This book explains how the disregard of subsistence commons and of Nature has seriously undermined the natural cycles of matter and the complex thread through which nature organises itself. The return of the commons that the book advocates is a powerful tool to understand the capitalist system, mobilise the resistance and find alternatives. -- Giorgio Nebbia, Professor Emeritus, University of Bari, Italy
