The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis — Colonial Extraction and Ecological Collapse
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis by Amitav Ghosh as a systems-level analysis of how colonial extraction shaped global economic structures and ecological transformation.
