Making a Living

Economies and Ecologies

New!

From: Making Sense of Society

$3.40

In Chapter 7, Khasnabish explores the diverse bundle of human activity that we often refer to as “economic activity,” which he refers to as “making a living.” The chapter focuses on exploring the ways societies divide and assign work, allocate resources, and produce, distribute, and consume the goods and services created from them. Topics discusses include capitalism and the predatory logic of accumulation, the market and value, Covid-19, Financialization, anti-capitalist resistance, and the “Capitalocence.” It includes excerpts from Max Haiven, Michael Truscello, and Ajamu Nangwaya.
