What is disembedding (as described by Capek)? What does it have to do with the structures created within capitalism? Do you think Aldo Leopolds Land Ethic or the indigenous land ethics weve read about can challenge the negative consequences of disembedding and our current mode of organizing economy and society? When describing our current mode of organizing economy and society, think about using environmental sociology concepts we learned about in class if you can (such as the double-edged nature of science from York, Treadmill of Production, Ecological Marxism, Risk Society etc).
