  1. Water Struggles as Resistance to Neoliberal Capitalism, A time of reproductive unrest, Moore M, 2023,

    "This book provides an important intervention into social reproduction theory and the politics of water...As an important analysis of two significant water struggles, the book makes a compelling argument for integrating the study of social movements within critical political economy."

    A time of reproductive unrest, Madelaine Moore
    "Drawing on the rich history of social reproduction theory (SRT), the book situates struggles over water within an account of capitalism that emphasises the continuing relevance of expropriation...Via an engagement with the Irish water charges protests and resistance to unconventional gas in Australia, the work explores the tension between life-making and profit-making that defines the new water commodity frontier.

  6. "Good books offer new arguments. Excellent books pose new questions. Alyssa Battistoni’s Free Gifts is an excellent book. It poses one extraordinary, novel question — If capitalism impels the commodification of everything, why has it not commodified so many parts of nature? — that yields other extraordinary questions.

    In answering them, Battistoni makes so many interesting moves that you might miss a few. I want to mention only two, each a book in itself.

    In one move, Battistoni analyzes a body of mainstream economics that arises in the twentieth century under the rubric of externalities, social costs, and cost disease. After pointing out that each of those issues has a common element — they all arise in the spheres of nature or the body — Battistoni does something that echoes what Marx did with Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Instead of ignoring or rejecting this literature, as many of Marx’s comrades did the economics of their day, Battistoni mines it for truths that economists, ethicists, and environmentalists avoid.

    To the economists, Battistoni points out that their theory of externalities follows from what Arthur Cecil Pigou called a “violent paradox”: a society that uses “the measuring rod of money” as its instrument of valuation will systematically, not contingently, produce market failures, particularly in the natural world, that cannot be resolved through the market.

    To ethicists and environmentalists, who think it is immoral to put a price on toxic waste or to trade in pollution rights, Battistoni argues that waste and pollution are parts of production and exchange. They’re costs, like wages or rent. The question is how to price those costs and who should pay them. If the price is too high, maybe that’s telling us something we need to change about how we organize the economy."

  16. "Constructed over five centuries of capitalist hegemony, the devaluation and naturalisation of reproductive work, in all its different (and constantly expanding) aspects, are clearly not amenable to any particular solution, nor can they be addressed by any reform of this work – though both reforms and changes giving women and all non-conforming subjects more power must be an object of struggle. The devaluation of reproduction, which, in essence, is the devaluation of our life, is a structural condition of capitalist accumulation. Fortunati’s analysis in The Arcana of Reproduction – of the capitalist structuring of the family and reproductive work thus continues to be both relevant and necessary.

    As in the 1970s, revealing the extent to which capitalism dominates our lives – and revealing all the unpaid labour that it has extracted from women through the organisation of marriage and the family – is an essential step for forging a feminist political agenda: an agenda not limited to the quest for equality, equal rights or opportunities, but driven by the conviction that, as Fortunati argues throughout The Arcana of Reproduction, women’s liberation can be obtained only through the construction of a society beyond capitalism."

  28. Each “consumer” is, while a consumer, simultaneously a producer; a self-producer, producing him or herself through consuming social wealth produced by him or herself and others. The total process, consumption and production taken together, is the process named social reproduction.

    The producers can be expected to struggle to make the means of production produce value for them within the production process itself and not merely at its end. That is, they will have demanded that the production process within which they daily live produce a value for them as a daily social life; that it become a process of gratifying social intercourse, self-development, and self-realization. It must “add value” to the use-value of their daily life.
