Something for Nothing: Rentier Capitalism

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: 2EH304

This course explores the historical shift from extraction - the process of relying on nature for the sustenance of human life - to extractivism, a set of practices premised on capital accumulation and power inequalities. We also expand our field of vision to include rentierism, the broad contemporary phenomenon of money-making through ownership and control of assets of different kinds. We thus engage in debates about whether extractivism and its contemporary forms can convincingly be seen as a central feature of capitalism currently - namely, rentier capitalism.
