Ecological Unequal Exchange: International Trade and Uneven Utilization of Environmental Space in the World System (2007, background): “Despite such diverse disciplinary starting points, arguably a key unifying insight is that capital accumulation is fundamentally rooted in alteration of ecological systems and the exploitation of labor (see for example Bunker 1985; Hornborg 2001).”
The unequal exchange of time and space: Toward a non-normative ecological theory of exploitation (2012, unknown): “…technology as a thoroughly social construct is even harder to digest, because it means that a tangible piece of machinery like a tractor or railway engine would simply not be feasible were it not for the uneven ways in which human time and natural space are priced in global society (Hornborg 2001).”
Consumption and Environmental Degradation: A Cross-National Analysis of the Ecological Footprint (2003, unknown): “Populations in core regions have relative economic advantages compared to non-core countries, which enable them to acquire and consume natural and produced commodities at higher levels (Burns et al. 2001; Hornborg 2001).”
