*ephemera: theory & politics in organization*

volume 12, number 1/2

*The atmosphere business*
Issue editors: Steffen Böhm, Anna-Maria Murtola and Sverre Spoelstra

The contributions collected in this special issue of /ephemera/ question 
the underlying ideologies and assumptions of carbon markets, and bring 
to light many of the contradictions and antagonisms that are currently 
at the heart of 'climate capitalism'. They offer a critical assessment 
of the political economy of carbon trading, and a detailed understanding 
of how these newly created markets are designed, how they (don't) work, 
the various actors that are involved, and how these actors function 
together to create and contest the 'atmosphere business'. In 5 notes, 6 
articles, 1 interview and 3 book reviews, some of the most prominent 
critical voices in debates about the atmosphere business are brought 
together in this special issue.
