| 520 | |a Studies of green corporate crime tend to be ahistorical in nature. This article explores the coal industry in the Central Appalachian region of the United States to highlight how historical context is crucial for understanding ongoing societal ills. The linkage between capitalism’s traumatic legacy and current social problems is quantified in negative indicators like high poverty, low life expectancy, and high rates of opioid addiction, and is manifest in the failed economic strategy of prison building. I examine the foundational role the coal industry has played in these modern outcomes, as well as the incalculable ecological damage to the region, by tracing corporate entities' appropriation of land and resources and their maltreatment of labor in the region. I then address the capture of regulatory bodies and politicians that has resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths and the erasure of unique ecosystems, before exploring the ideological machinations that generate misplaced support for the industry today. | ||
