The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing

5.0

Too highbrow for me but in the best way where I’m going to have to reread it. The culmination of anthropological observation, histories of cultures, economics, and biology all together was done well. I don’t understand economics well enough outside the context of healthcare so I will need to brush up on that to better fully understand her critique of capitalism. (Did not even know this book was set partially in Oregon when I got it. I did not know that such foraging and interactions were occurring in an area that I have frequented.)
