Martin Arboleda con Planetary Mine: Territories of Extraction under Late Capitalism
Críticas ""Martin Arboleda's Planetary Mine offers a masterful re-theorization of the political economy of territoriality, logistics, state sovereignty, and primary commodity production. This is a powerful exploration of what we might call ""actually existing global capitalism."" Theoretically fresh and politically compelling, Planetary Mine is destined to be a classic."" - Christian Parenti, John Jay College CUNY and author of The Means Proper Reseña del editor Planetary Mine suggests that the burgeoning race for resources that began at the turn of the century has come to signal two distinct, yet overlapping, epoch-making shifts: the end of the Western phase of capitalism, on the one hand, and an unfolding technological revolution on the other. Through an exploration of the integrated logistical infrastructures that connect mines in the Atacama Desert of Chile with an expanding constellation of megacities, ports, banks, and factories across East Asia, the book rethinks uneven geographical development in the current, post-globalisation context.
