A review of Blue Community co-founder Maude Barlow’s book Earth For Sale by Kingston writer Jamie Swift:
From Swift’s Shelf: The Age of Financialization.
The ruinous reality of putting a price on everything … including nature.
(…) In Earth for Sale Barlow dissects the ‘financialization’ of nature, the ongoing effort to put a price on pretty well everything in the natural world. Given her concern with water, she credits Antonio Tricarico’s presentation at a 2012 Alternative Water Forum. He defined nature ‘financialization’ as “a long term project that aims to lock natural resource management into the future structure of capital markets.”
