About this title

Synopsis

Modern thought on economics and technology is no less magical than the world views of non-modern peoples. This book reveals how our ideas about growth and progress ignore how money and machines throughout history have been used to exploit less affluent parts of world society. The argument critically explores a middle ground between Marxist political ecology and Actor-Network Theory.

About the Author

Alf Hornborg is an anthropologist and Professor of Human Ecology at Lund University, Sweden.
