b'We discuss Chapter 5 \\u2014 Metabolic Domination \\u2014 which brings us to the end of the first section outlining the material conditions (of human nature, society, life) that allow for the existence of something like economic power. Here we see how economic power operates by inserting itself into, mediating and controlling, the processes of human metabolism\\u2014that is, the material things and social relations that people depend upon to live. The very thing that makes humans so powerful\\u2014the flexibility, porosity, and promiscuity of our social relations with other things, people, and environments\\u2014is also what makes us susceptible to domination of various forms.\\n\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Mute Compulsion: A Marxist Theory of the Economic Power of Capital \\u2013 S\\xf8ren Mau https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2759-mute-compulsion \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
