An excellent book overall, that weaves together a massive amount of core research in how we have scaled up into an age of uncontrollable and unavoidable mining and monetisation, and how this is creating the expulsion of people from their land worldwide. Told with a strong voice and academic rigour, this book is grim but important.

A bit marred by a confusing Chapter 3, that uses too much domain-specific language to make it easy to read (from a non-expert in banking).

Some interesting ideas regarding the place of global cities within globalization; however, I felt that the book became quite repetitive halfway through. I feel as though you could read the first couple of chapters to get the main ideas and not miss much by skipping the rest.
