Sinossi
How capitalism first promoted fossil fuels with the rise of steam power
The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels we burn. How did we end up in this mess? In this masterful new history, Andreas Malm claims it all began in Britain with the rise of steam power. But why did manufacturers turn from traditional sources of power, notably water mills, to an engine fired by coal? Contrary to established views, steam offered neither cheaper nor more abundant energy&;but rather superior control of subordinate labour. Animated by fossil fuels, capital could concentrate production at the most profitable sites and during the most convenient hours, as it continues to do today. Sweeping from nineteenth-century Manchester to the emissions explosion in China, from the original triumph of coal to the stalled shift to renewables, this study hones in on the burning heart of capital and demonstrates, in unprecedented depth, that turning down the heat will mean a radical overthrow of the current economic order.

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st. 488 pages, soft cover. Covers are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. This book is a Marxist critique of climate change. It argues that the reliance on fossil fuels originated in the 19th-century British textile industry. Industrialists adopted coal-fired steam engines not for better efficiency, but because they offered superior control over a captive workforce compared to river-based water mills. Clean copy.
