Praise for Free Gifts:

“[A] stimulating treatise. . . . Battistoni is a rigorous and skilled polemicist; she showcases her original close readings of classic texts without veering too far into the weeds. Her investigation adds up to a fascinating look at how a 'free' nature functions, ironically, to restrict human freedom to make ethical and socially responsible decisions. . . . [An] insightful theoretical approach to the climate crisis.” —Publishers Weekly

“A remarkable, important work of sophisticated Marxist theory informed by spectacularly detailed analysis of our actually-existing capitalist world—and beautifully written at that. It’s about nature but also everything.” —Daniel Denvir

“An original contribution. . . . I have nothing but admiration for the ambition on display in Battistoni’s work. Free Gifts: Capitalism and the Politics of Nature is appropriately a book that is very much alive.” —Matt McManus, Damage

“I love this book. It's a great analysis of one of capitalism's core assumptions. . . . Super thought-provoking and wide-ranging.” —Jeffrey Church, The Political Theory Review
