With the rise of coal power the producers who oversaw its development acquired the ability to shut down energy systems a threat they used to build the first mass democracies. Oil offered the West an alternative and with it came a new form of politics. Oil created a denatured political life the central object of which—the economy—appeared capable of infinite growth. What followed was a Western democracy dependent on an undemocratic Middle East. We now live with the consequences: an impoverished political practice incapable of addressing the crises that threaten to end the age of carbon democracy — namely the disappearance of cheap energy and the carbon-fuelled collapse of the ecological order. For the updated edition of this classic title Timothy Mitchell has written a new preface reassessing its arguments in the light of recent political events.
