Introduction

Bob Newberry and Shane Bill Kelly read responses to Moore's Capitalism in the web of life. John Bellamy Foster was a major figure in thinking through relationship between capitalism and ecological degradation. The acrimonious debate comes from some feeling that, you know, people like Foster have spent a decent amount of time actually looking at earth and ocean science. And so when Moore is on one hand, I think there's some ego there, like, a lot of ego there," Bob says.
