Battistoni argues that capitalism fails to value nature not because it commodifies too much, but because it leaves too much unaccounted for. Nature’s contributions, such as clean air, soil, and climate regulation are treated as free gifts, invisible to markets and policy. Attempts to price them have not worked, moral appeals have not protected them. She reframes ecosystems as infrastructure, not commodities, and calls for political responsibility over economic abstraction. It is a sharp critique of how value is assigned, and what that means for ecological survival.
