Fossil Capital Reading Group #2

‘The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels we burn. How did we end up in this mess?’ Andreas Malm’s Fossil Capital explores the origins of the transition from water mills towards coal-fired steam power. It explains how and why capitalism is addicted to fossil fuels. This history has implications on how we can now address climate change and accomplish necessary transition towards renewable energy.

Who started the fire? What keeps it burning?

This is the 2nd session of the Fossil Capital reading group. If you couldn't make it to the previous one, don't worry, you can still join in. Try to have read the first five chapters.

~

This is a horizontally organized reading group that is open to all. Especially people that are involved in radical political projects or the climate movement are encouraged to join. We think it is good to sometimes take a step back from organizing actions and talk about what we do, why we do it and how we can do it better. We plan to continue with collectively determined readings after this book.

Interested in participating? Please send an email to cja_readinggroup@riseup.net, even if you cannot make it to the first session.
