    The general relationship of capitalism to nature is to objectify and liquidate it... turning ecosystems into objects, beings into commodities, life into money.

        Agreed, but didn't these processes start well before capitalism as such emerged?

        Rochelle, hasn't every single anthropologist read The Gift? Compulsory reading for anyone interested in the field. :-)

        So, it takes living things and turns them into dead things, on the grounds that doing so “creates value”. Do we only value dead things and only then because we can fix a price for them?

        True. And imo only possible because too many people in high places have never been required to take IQ and EQ tests.

        Such is the danger of quantifying ecosystem services. It provides insight into how valuable and important our natural resources are while also placing a price tag that some entity can exploit.
