A Corrosive Decline

Creative Commons 'BY-NC-ND' version 4.0 license
Abstract

This piece is written in the wake of damaging projects of extractive capitalism. As the Trump administration pulls back government support for clean energy, energy policy and market forces are past the tipping point of change. Trump brings uncertainty to the structural reorganization of the global economy, yet he will not reverse it. Writing from Denmark, David Struthers looks to the Indigenous analyses of ongoing colonialism to make an argument against a corrosive authoritarian encroachment.
