《生命之网》内容简介
金融、气候、食物、工作，21世纪的这些危机如何联系起来？在本书中，作者摩尔认为，当今的全球动荡与世界危机有一个共同原因，这就是资本主义那种组织自然的方式。资本主义最强大的力量及其问题，都来自它创造与占用四个廉价自然——廉价劳动、廉价食物、廉价能源、廉价原材料——的能力。这种能力现在陷于困境了。廉价自然面临终结。
摩尔开创性地提出“世界-生态”观，将财富、力量和自然纳入生命之网中，极具锋芒地重新思考资本主义的起源，将读者带上一次壮观旅程：从资本主义的兴起到现代的危机交织。这本厚重之作提出了富有创意的框架，对于我们理解过去，对于我们认真思考改变未来，都具有启发意义。

A brief introduction to the Web of Life
Finance, climate, food, jobs: How are the crises of the 21st century connected? In this book, Moore argues that today's global upheavals and world crises have a common cause: capitalism's way of organizing nature. Capitalism's greatest strength and its problems stem from its ability to create and occupy four cheap nature-cheap labor, cheap food, cheap energy, and cheap raw materials. That ability is now in trouble. Cheap is naturally coming to an end.
Moore's groundbreaking "world-ecology" approach, which incorporates wealth, power, and nature into the web of life, and sharply rethinks the origins of capitalism, takes the reader on a spectacular journey from the rise of capitalism to the crisis of the modern age. This weighty book presents a creative framework for understanding the past and for thinking seriously about changing the future.
