These technologies are an index of capital accumulation, privileged resource conĀ­ sumption, and the displacement of both work and environmental loads. After more than 200 years, we still tend to imagine technological progress as nothing but the magic wand of ingenuity that, with no necessary political or moral implications elsewhere, will solve our local problems of sustainability. Universities throughout the world reproduce this illusion by entrenching the academic division of labor between faculties o f engineering and faculties of economics. But globalized technological systems essentially represent an unequal exchange of embodied labor and land in the world-system. The worldview of modern economics, the emergence of which accompanied the Industrial Revolution in the hub of the British Empire, systematically obscures the asymmetric exchange of biophysical resources on which industrialization rests. This disjunction between exchange values and physics is as much a condition for modern technology as engineering. - ![](author:alfhornborg.md) -If inside the sentence ![than this book](bib:f6133bdc-af22-49b9-a006-990fedc508f0) will become a link and wouldn't expand into a full citation. +![](bib:f6133bdc-af22-49b9-a006-990fedc508f0)
