Please join us Friday, March 2nd for "The End of Cheap Nature?<https://www.centerforthehumanities.org/programming/the-end-of-cheap-nature>" at 6:30 pm in the Skylight Room (9100) at the Graduate Center, CUNY for a conversation with Jason W. Moore co-author of A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things, and Graduate Center, CUNY faculty Omar Dahbour, Ashley Dawson, and Cindi Katz about today's planetary emergencies and increasingly fragile natural systems. All are welcome, so please forward to your friends, lists, departments, and groups. We look forward to seeing you! Modern history has seen capitalism commodify a series of essential things: nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives. In making these essentials increasingly cheap, commerce has transformed and increasingly devastated the planet and the animals, plants, and people who depend on it. Today we face myriad interlocking crises, from climate change to ocean acidification to diminishing supplies of fresh water and arable land. Is this the end of cheap nature, or will capitalism be able to exploit these crises to generate a fresh round of accumulation? And what will be the fate of the many beings - humanity among them - who depend on increasingly fragile natural systems.
