Summary: nature for theory fans and theory for nature fans!
Comment: Rogers has done what few have pulled off (few have even tried actually). He has brought the insights of a slew of social theorists (Marx, Polanyi, Simmel, Weber, Baudrillard, Goux) to bear on the environmental crisis, and made many valuable connections. He also has gone to pains to articulate the disembedding effects of the money economy on all social relationships. And the most refreshing thing is, for Rogers, nature is inherently social, so, in contrast to some more triumphalist social theorists so anxious to subsume nature under the umbrella of a human-social, Rogers see humans as social because they are part of nature. Sure, there are ommission, e.g. the ecofeminist critique, and maybe it's not revolutionarily original, e.g. much of this was articulated, albeit in a different manner of course, by the Frankfort School, which receives no credit. No matter. This is an important and beautiful book. And depressing. Read it.
