Jason W. Moore: Capital Frontiers

[@nawaprilwah9980]

I don't really understand frontiers here. please could you share your knowledge with me? What is the frontier? How do frontiers function under capitalism? Why does capitalism need frontiers? How does cheap nature relate to frontiers?

Dear Naw April Wah, in case you're still interested in understanding the connections between frontiers and (proto)capitalism: Beckert, Sven; Bosma, Ulbe; Schneider, Mindi et al. "Commodity frontiers and the transformation of the global countryside: a research agenda", in: Journal of Global History: 2021. Pp. 1-16. --> it's a great, short paper.
