A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things by Raj Patel and Jason Moore

A strong denouncement of the destruction of the Environment and our global society by the adoption of Capitalism. A lot of interesting details explain how "cheap" natural products and resources, labor, food to keep laborers alive and functioning work to maximize profits for the few. The only disappointment is that their conclusion was cursory. Perhaps readers can form discussion groups to perhaps come up with some concrete strategies and activities to revamp a very entrenched economic system that the 1% will fight tooth and nail to keep in place even as our very damaged World becomes increasingly unable to support life.
