Scheiber also traces the origins of the enclosure movement that eventually led to the establishment of the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). One disquieting aspect of the book is the notion that there was some kind of `Golden Era' in the world prior to the rise of capitalism, in which communities did really care about their fellow members, as in the period prior to the enclosure movement in England. Their methods were not inherently sustainable and the movement can as easily be seen to mark the arrival of the high input industrial agriculture of the twentieth century as the continuation of an ecological golden age of traditional institutions (whose relatively recent origins in the turmoil of the enclosure movement Winter chooses not to discuss). |
