Working Nature: A History of the Energy Economy

A CRITICAL HISTORY OF ENERGY

Daniela Russ argues that the category of 'energy' is best understood not in terms of particular material things but as a social relation to nature forged over 200 years of capitalist industrialization. Working Nature examines how engineers, scientists, and economists harnessed and circulated the products of nature despite social and natural resistance.
