<p>The Alibi of Capital<br>How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow<br><br>Description<br>Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capitalism’s origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future.<br><br>The Alibi of Capital explains how this came about through the imperial expansion of the West, encumbering today’s generations with repayments on earlier extractions. Timothy Mitchell identifies the forms of capitalisation, credit, and coercion that turn prospective assets into present income. Rejecting the common idea that claims on the future create only financial or fictitious capital, he traces the terraforming projects – the destruction of rivers, the colonising of territory, the expansion of infrastructure, and the burning of carbon – through which the future has been squandered. Terms such as finance, technology, the economy, and growth function as alibis that conceal this devastating form of extraction.<br></p><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-alibi-of-capital-how-we-broke-the-earth-to-steal-the-future-on-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow-timothy-mitchell/b9d75f1021d88989" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="bookshop.org/p/books/the-alibi-of-capital-how-we-broke-the-earth-to-steal-the-future-on-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow-timothy-mitchell/b9d75f1021d88989"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bookshop.org/p/books/the-alibi</span><span class="invisible">-of-capital-how-we-broke-the-earth-to-steal-the-future-on-the-promise-of-a-better-tomorrow-timothy-mitchell/b9d75f1021d88989</span></a><br><br><a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a> <a href="/tags/extractivism/" rel="tag">#extractivism</a> <a href="/tags/colonization/" rel="tag">#colonization</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> <a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="/tags/climatecrisis/" rel="tag">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="/tags/environmentaldestruction/" rel="tag">#EnvironmentalDestruction</a> <a href="/tags/ecologicaldestruction/" rel="tag">#EcologicalDestruction</a> <a href="/tags/mortgagingthefuture/" rel="tag">#MortgagingTheFuture</a><br>

<p>I was just thinking about this. I remember when <a href="/tags/summertime/" rel="tag">#summertime</a> was so nice. Sure there’d be a week or two when it was hot, but not this hot. It’s to the point that you can’t be outside — even at night — unless you are in the water. And that’s drying up in many places.</p><p>The livin&#x27; is no longer easy</p><p>The summertime ideal - lazy days, warm nights and escape - is fading as <a href="/tags/extremeheat/" rel="tag">#ExtremeHeat</a> sets records worldwide.</p><p><a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="/tags/extremeweather/" rel="tag">#ExtremeWeather</a> <br><a href="https://apnews.com/article/summer-heat-summertime-coolcations-383aa1a95dec89a98dc4a4f05edfcfa3?utm_source=app&amp;utm_medium=iOS_share&amp;utm_campaign=copy_link" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="apnews.com/article/summer-heat-summertime-coolcations-383aa1a95dec89a98dc4a4f05edfcfa3?utm_source=app&amp;utm_medium=iOS_share&amp;utm_campaign=copy_link"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/summer-heat</span><span class="invisible">-summertime-coolcations-383aa1a95dec89a98dc4a4f05edfcfa3?utm_source=app&amp;utm_medium=iOS_share&amp;utm_campaign=copy_link</span></a></p>

<p>No wonder NASA earth and ocean science is being cut (<a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#uspol</a>). Good science puts at risk masking the true nature of bad weather: acts of God that frees government and corporations from paying to fix things broken. <br><a href="/tags/boostingissharing/" rel="tag">#boostingIsSharing</a> </p><p><a href="/tags/climate/" rel="tag">#climate</a> <a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#science</a> <a href="/tags/nasa/" rel="tag">#nasa</a> <a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#climatechange</a> </p><p><a href="https://weather-fox.com/nasa-confirms-atmospheric-shift-over-north-america-8-345225" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="weather-fox.com/nasa-confirms-atmospheric-shift-over-north-america-8-345225"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">weather-fox.com/nasa-confirms-</span><span class="invisible">atmospheric-shift-over-north-america-8-345225</span></a></p>

<p>Don&#x27;t let anyone hush you from talking and acting up about climate change. The issue is one of the greatest threats to humanity and the planet. If we don&#x27;t act soon the future will be severely changed for all life as we know it.</p><p><a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#climatechange</a> <a href="/tags/actup/" rel="tag">#actup</a> <a href="/tags/govegan/" rel="tag">#govegan</a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/01/democrats-climate-policy-hushing" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/01/democrats-climate-policy-hushing"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.theguardian.com/us-news/20</span><span class="invisible">26/aug/01/democrats-climate-policy-hushing</span></a></p>
