The Entropy of Capitalism : Studies in Critical Social Sciences, Volume 39 (Studies in Critical Social Sciences)

Drawing on his experience in international systems and low-input agriculture, political ecologist Robert Biel explores the interactions of social and physical systems. In the process he reveals the early twenty-first century as a period when capitalism starts parasitising on the chaos it creates, most notably in the link between the two sides of imperialism: militarism (the `war on terror') and speculative finance capital.
