Quote
:
“World-ecology" is a “framework of historical interpretation that dialectically unifies
capital, power and nature” (Moore 2014a, 2). This is an argument for a conception of
capitalism that extends beyond the purely economic and sees capitalism as a
civilization “co-produced by humans and the rest of nature.”
Why you chose the quote:
I chose this quote because it shows the significance of how limited our
understanding of capitalism is and its relationship with the natural world and social
structures.
What you learned from the complete source that you have quoted.
In this paper, Daniel Hartley discusses the relationship between capitalism and
world ecology by showing the relationships between economic systems, systems of
power, and the natural environment. It has historical and environmental aspects. As the
historical part of this paper shows, capitalism's development is not merely a product of
economic forces, but also a product of historical interactions between capital, power
structures, and the natural environment in which it has developed. We can gain insight
into the current manifestations of capitalism by taking a historical perspective and
tracing their evolution through time. According to the world-ecology framework,
capitalism exists independently of nature (Hartley, 2016). As a result, it is a civilization
that developed alongside and has been influenced by nature. Nature and humans are
seen as co-producers of capitalism, meaning that both have contributed to its
development.
Why you think this source was selected for this week (how it connects to Cultural
Geography themes examined in this course)
The reason he chose this source is that capitalism has had a profound impact on
many people. Since many people will have different perspectives on a topic so
debatable, different perspectives should be heard and seen. It should be noted that
capitalism and cultural geography are intrinsically linked in many ways, as economic
systems like capitalism often influence and are influenced by the cultural aspects of a
society in several ways. Different cultures may have different views on capitalism and
how it has and still does affects many people.
