DESCRIPTION:For May, 2022 we’re reading the first four chapters of A History of the 
 World in Seven Cheap Things. A Guide to Capitalism, Nature, And the Future 
 of the Planet, by Raj Patel and Jason W Moore. UC Press, Amazon\nAll are 
 welcome!\n\n"Nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives: these are 
 the seven things that have made our world and will shape its future. In 
 making these things cheap, modern commerce has transformed, governed, and 
 devastated Earth. In A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things, Raj 
 Patel and Jason W. Moore present a new approach to analyzing today’s 
 planetary emergencies. \n\nBringing the latest ecological research together 
 with histories of colonialism, indigenous struggles, slave revolts, and 
 other rebellions and uprisings, Patel and Moore demonstrate that throughout 
 history, crises have always prompted fresh strategies to make the world 
 cheap and safe for capitalism. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap 
 things, innovative and systemic thinking is urgently required. This book 
 proposes a radical new way of understanding—and reclaiming—the planet 
 in the turbulent twenty-first century."\n\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this
