We live in the Capitalocene, forget the Anthropocene (Podcast with Jason W. Moore)
📺 Welcome to the 56th episode of the Circular Metabolism Podcast: Forget the Anthropoce, we live in the Capitalocene with Prof. Jason W. Moore 📺.
🏙️ On today’s episode we will discuss about some more fundamental questions that are looking how capitalism and rationalism has altered our relationship with Nature, which in turn is responsible for current environmental crises. In other words we will look whether the duality of Nature and Society which we always use as a given to account for resource use and pollution emissions is actually one of the root causes for situation we’re in. We will question whether the right way to qualify the epoch we live in is Capitalocene instead of Anthropocene and finally we try to see together whether another socioecological future is foreseeable.
🎓 To talk about these big topics, I have Jason W. Moore. Jason is an environmental historian and historical geographer at Binghamton University, where he is professor of sociology. He is author of Capitalism in the Web of Life and editor of Anthropocene or Capitalocene? Nature, History, and the Crisis of Capitalism. His books and work are trying to make a synthesis of radical scholarship by looking at the long-term perspectives of Capitalism, Power and Nature. Finally, Jason coordinates the World-Ecology Research Network.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for your sharing!
This was a lot. I only mostly understand because I've listened to some books relating to this. I'm gonna have to listen to this a couple more times.

Indeed it requires some time to digest all the insights and information. But it is worth it.
Frankly, this sounds like pure sophism. Where is the meaning? Where is the understanding?
👌🏾👌🏾 thank you for this discussion

Thanks Rocio! Glad you enjoyed it.
As long as those experts include indigenous voices, I'm fine with replacing the black in "red, black, and green".

red and green in the sense of its analytics refer to the marxist ecological theory and mainstream ecological theory. Capitalocene emphasizes that the indigenous people are included as nature by the colonialists, not as human.

actually the first corporations WERE universities.
Good lord.
"the world in fifty years"? He's ignoring the empirical evidence of the ecological crisis. Try reading the science more: Natalia Shakhova, Jim Massa, Andrew Glikson, Peter Carter, James E. Hansen. good luck.
