‘New writing on capitalism, nature and the climate’ Launched as a non-profit in early 2024, The Break-Down explores the political economy of the climate crisis through personal stories, expert insights and cultural critique that dissect the systems fuelling ecological collapse. Back with their second print edition titled ‘Frontiers’, this issue challenges the idea of frontiers as ‘borders, terra nullius or sites of struggle’—shifting the focus to resource extraction and its human and ecological consequences. Inside, explore the Lithium Triangle spanning Argentina, Bolivia and Chile; hear from political science Professor Thea Riofrancos about the geopolitics of extraction; learn about Northern Ontario’s Native communities fighting for sovereignty and against destructive mining practices; plus more. break-down.org
