The Enclosure and Exploitation of Nature
This chapter examines the historical land enclosure process in Britain that displaced peasants and laid the groundwork for the working class as discussed by Marx. It explores the shift from common land use to private ownership under capitalism, while critiquing the commodification of nature and the philosophical implications of Enlightenment thought. Additionally, the chapter discusses the influence of key figures like John Locke on modern attitudes toward property rights and how these perspectives shape contemporary environmental discourse.
