SR 2007: Coming to Terms with Nature

The looming environmental crisis forces socialists to confront difficult questions in both thought and action. Is capitalism threatened by the ecological crisis or can it prevail in an increasingly degraded planet? What will the legacy of capitalism's environmental destruction mean for any future socialist society? How can the socialist goal of international equality be met without aggravating the biosphere's destruction? What are the implications of environmental destruction for any future socialist society? This volume develops a better eco-socialist understanding of contemporary capitalism and advances the kind of politics that could lead to an ecologically sustainable as well as a democratic socialism.//Contributors: Greg Albo Almar Altvater Henry Bernstein Achim Brunnengraber Daniel Buck Elinor Harriss Barbara Harriss-White Minqi Li Brenda Longfellow Michael Lowy Joan Martinez-Alier Philip McMichael Costas Panayotakis Jamie Peck Heather Rogers Neil Smith Erik Swyngedouw Dale Wen Frieder Otto Wolf Philip Woodhouse
