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\nFor June, 
 2022, we'll be finishing the above book.\n\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 non-technical 
 book group discussion monthly on new and radical economic thinking.
