ECOLOGY AND SOCIALISM: SOLUTIONS TO CAPITALIST ECOLOGICAL CRISIS
Book ID/图书代码: 11650015B81370
English Summary/英文概要: A timely, well grounded analysis that reveals an inconvenient truth: we can’t save capitalism and save the planet.
As global temperatures rise, and polar bears continue to drown due to melting arctic ice, there has emerged a growing chorus of voices crying out to save the planet. Yet the harsh reality ignored by pundits and policy makers is that capitalism stands as the most intractable obstacle in the way of the changes that could avert ecological devastation.
Consciousness of the threat to our environment is growing, yet he majority of solutions on offer, from using efficient light bulbs to biking to work, focus on individual lifestyle changes, yet the scale of the crisis requires far deeper changes. Time still remains to save the planet, but only by building social movements for environmental justice that can demand qualitative changes.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 本书提供了有凭有据的及时分析,揭示了一个难以忽视的真相:我们无法拯救资本主义,无法拯救世界。
随着全球气温的上升,北极熊继续由于融化的北极冰而被淹死,越来越多的人开始大声疾呼拯救地球。然而,被专家和政策制定者所忽视的残酷现实是:资本主义是横在防止生态破坏的各种改革面前最棘手的障碍。
我们越来越多地认识到对环境造成的威胁,但大部分解决方案,如使用节能灯泡、骑车上班等仅仅专注于个人生活方式的改变。但这场大规模的危机需要更深层次的改变。还有时间拯救地球,但只有建立环境正义社会运作以实实质性的变化才能达成目标。(LYR)

“Ecology and Socialism exposes the real roots of the ecological crisis: a global economic and social system that always puts profits before people. This book is more than essential reading – it is apowerful weapon in the fight to save our planet.”Ian Angus, editor climateandcapitalism.com
“Finally, a book that bridges the best of the scholarly and activist literatures in socialist ecology! Sophisticated and compelling, eschewing academic jargons ‘post-modern’ and otherwise, Ecology and Socialism more than competently champions a Marxist approach to environmental crisis and the kind of economic democracy needed to achieve an ecologically friendly system of production and human development.”Paul Burkett, author of Marx and Nature: A Red and Green Perspective
