ABSTRACT Unequal exchange is a common theme in two major global issues, uneven economic development and the environmental crisis. Ecologically unequal exchange is usually derived from the product composition of international trade as an opposition between extractive and industrial economies. However, this explanation fails to capture asymmetric flows of biophysical resources in the new international division of labour. Inspired by an Eco-Marxist approach, a consistent account of the ecologically unequal exchange is presented based on the different value of money between countries. An econometric test confirms the theoretical hypothesis. Unequal exchange emerges as a structural manifestation of the uneven development of capitalism, which exacerbates the global environmental crisis and pre-existing power imbalances by reproducing global economic and ecological hierarchies.

ABSTRACT Externalities, as both a pervasive phenomenon and a concept, lie at the centre of ecological thought and policy debates. This paper questions the adequacy of deeming of pervasive phenomena as externalities including by some authors in the (eco)socialist tradition. It critically reflects on the epistemological underpinnings of what is seen as internal and what as external, and reveals the role of methods used in economics as well as real social and economic processes characterising capitalism in configuring these so-called externalities. The roots of said externalities are traced beyond Marshall and Pigou, to whom the concept is usually attributed, and associated with political economists, especially Mill and Sidgwick. Despite all the metamorphoses in the content and implications of the concept of externalities since its birth, the constitutive role of methodological individualism as a common ground of all particular uses of externalities is demonstrated. However, externalities as a concept do not owe their existence solely to the individualistic method of mainstream economics. Real and practical processes defining capitalism are at least as important in understanding the content and function of externalities in both theoretical economics and political debates.

ABSTRACT In this essay I reflect on how the anti-ecological class interest of capital finds a parallel in capital’s role in both precipitating and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on the U.S. experience, I discuss how the political Right has taken advantage of the Left’s failure to recognize the relevance of its own (anti-capitalist) ecological perspective to questioning a public health agenda largely driven by the interests of Big Pharma.

ABSTRACT Somerville's rejoinder highlights some fundamental divergences between ecologically unequal exchange theory and the classical Marxist position. This brief intervention addresses a few points in his rejoinder that are particularly illustrative of the incompatibility of the two frameworks. It is argued that historical materialism should acknowledge the materiality of world trade as foundational to global inequalities and unsustainability.
