On the Danger of Fossil Fascism
«Praise for Fossil Capital:
Barbara Kiser, Nature
The birth of the fossil economy, avers human ecologist Andreas Malm, arrived when steam eclipsed water power in mid-nineteenth-century Britain. Around that, Malm builds a deep, insight-packed history of how society came to be in thrall to the twin engines of combustion and capital.»

«Praise for Fossil Capital:

«Praise for Fossil Capital:
Jacobin
A unique reconceptualization of the relationship between nature, capitalism, and Marxism.»
«Praise for Fossil Capital:
Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums and Ecology of Fear
"Malm forcefully unmasks the assumption that economic growth has inevitably brought us to the brink of a hothouse Earth. Rather, as he shows in a subtle and surprising reinterpretation of the Industrial Revolution, it has been the logic of capital (especially the need to valorize immense sunk investments in fossil fuels), not technology or even industrialism per se, that has driven global warming."»
«Praise for Fossil Capital:
John Bellamy Foster, University of Oregon, author of Marx’s Ecology
"Fossil Capital is a theoretical masterpiece and a political-economic-ecological manifesto. It looks unblinkingly at the catastrophe that could await human society if we fail to act on the words System Change or Climate Change. It is a book that I will return to again and again-and take notes."»
«Praise for Fossil Capital:
Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine
"The definitive deep history on how our economic system created the climate crisis. Superb, essential reading from one of the most original thinkers on the subject."»
«Praise for Fossil Capital:
Benjamin Kunkel, London Review of Books
Remarkable book»
«Praise for Fossil Capital:
David Wallace-Wells, New York Magazine
This is a denser, wonkier, and more historical survey of the long, ugly marriage between fossil fuels and capitalism - in fact, between fossil fuels and the entire history of economic growth.»
«Praise for Fossil Capital:
Michael Robbins, Bookforum
The best book written about the origins of global warming ... Like Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything, Fossil Capital trenchantly demonstrated that capitalism and capitalists are responsible for climate change.»
«White Skin, Black Fuels is a beautifully written, passionate, richly researched warning about fossil fascism - and its mutant offspring, ecofascism. With acute sensitivity, it traces the surprising connections between racist, nationalist ideology and climate denialism. And it persuasively explains why climate disaster only reinforces denialism on the Right. An essential insight into an emerging threat.»
Richard Seymour
«This bold and richly detailed study of far-Right approaches to climate change is a revelation. With well-grounded historical depth and challenging theoretical reach, it brings disparate contemporary developments onto a much-needed common canvas. Its admirably transnational reading of urgent political priorities could not be more timely»
Geoff Eley, University of Michigan, author of Nazism as Fascism
«In this highly engaging study, full of startling anecdotes and witty reflections, Andreas Malm and the Zetkin Collective take us on a whirlwind tour of ascendant far-right movements and their anti-climate politics in Europe, the US, and Brazil. White Skin, Black Fuel is analytically rich, getting to the heart of fascism's long-standing entanglement with white supremacy, fossil fuels, machinist fetishism, and capitalist cruelty. If you want to understand the political obstacles that will face climate action in the coming decades, this book is a must-read»
Cara Daggett, author of The Birth of Energy
«[Malm is] the hardest-working intellectual on the climate left.»
Wen Stephenson, The Nation
«A firm foundation for antifascist understandings of fascism. If the name of the game is to know our enemy, this is a crucial first step.»
Alex King, Spectre
«Compelling.»
Paul Mason, New Statesman
«A critically needed analysis for movement thinkers and organisers seeking to understand the resurgence of fascism in the midst of climate breakdown.»
Basav Sen, Antipode
«[White Skin, Black Fuel] shows how, in the political arena, arguments about economic rationality get woven together with hierarchical structures and the pursuit of domination, portending what it calls fossil fascism.»
Olufemi O. Taiwo, New Yorker
«This rich study of the far right's role in the climate crisis presents an eye-opening sweep of a novel political constellation, revealing its deep historical roots.»
Adele Walton, gal–dem
«Fascinating.»
Joseph Maggs, Race & Class
«Malm and the Zetkin Collective lead us through the first systematic inquiry into the political ecology of the Far Right in the climate crisis, covering thirteen European countries along with the United States and Brazil.»
James Mumm, Social Policy magazine
