About the Author

Fredrik Albritton Jonsson is a distinguished historian and environmental scholar whose work bridges the history of economic thought with contemporary ecological challenges. With a background in European intellectual history, he explores how concepts of scarcity have shaped capitalist development from its early modern roots to the pressing realities of the climate crisis. Drawing on interdisciplinary insights from economics, ecology, and philosophy, Jonsson's research illuminates the cultural and ideological underpinnings of resource management and sustainability. His incisive analyses challenge conventional narratives, advocating for a reevaluation of growth paradigms in light of planetary limits. As an associate professor at the University of Chicago, he continues to influence debates on environmental policy and historical materialism through his rigorous scholarship and public engagement.
