Book Review: Water Struggles as Resistance to Neoliberal Capitalism: A Time for Reproductive Unrest by Madelaine Moore.

Madelaine Moore's book, "Water Struggles as Resistance to Neoliberal Capitalism: A Time for Reproductive Unrest," offers a critical political economy perspective on social change and social movements. The book examines the class politics of water and the tensions between the reproduction of conditions for profit-making and life-making. Moore analyzes water grabs as a form of capitalist accumulation and explores movements in Australia and Ireland that emerged in response to the crisis of profitability. She argues that these movements redefine the value and relationship to water and contribute to a conjuncture of reproductive unrest. The book also develops a social reproduction theory approach and highlights the intersections between social reproduction and agency within political economy. Overall, the book provides valuable insights for scholars and activists interested in water, social movements, class, and environmental politics. [Extracted from the article]
