An informed, sometimes acute, polemic against capitalism's half-millennium of colonial exploitation. --Nature Any good dialectical analysis lives or dies by its synthesis, and Patel and Moore's is spot on. Particularly, the concept of cheap lives stands out as a novel way to tie the important threads of critical thought on capitalism's history into a coherent tapestry of how it persists, as well as a way to comprehend and resist capitalism in 2017. --Los Angeles Review of Books A provocative and highly readable guide to the early centuries of capitalism. --Resilience An intriguing approach to analyzing today's planetary emergencies. . . . Nicely blends ecological research with broad stroke history to demonstrate how humans have invented strategies to make the world safe for capitalism. --Library Journal
