Product Description
Review
"Socialism and ecology are often presented as the 'past' and the 'future' but, as this book makes clear, Marxism and Ecology have much to offer each other. As we prepare to enter the 21st century we need, more than ever, to understand the political and economic roots of environmental problems. This book, written by an international array of scholars, helps us to understand these roots." --Michael Redclift, Ph.D., Wye College, London
"A green Marxism? The notion will seem far-fetched to many. Yet capital is the enemy of nature, and Marxism is the discourse of anti-capitalism. Any real confrontation with the ecological crisis will require the greening of Marxism. This is just what Ted Benton's superb collection, true to its title, sets out to do. This is committed scholarship of the highest order." --Joel Kovel, MD, Alger Hiss Professor of Social Studies, Bard College

Product Description
"As we prepare to enter the 21st century we need, more than ever, to understand the political and economic roots of environmental problems. This book -- written by an international array of scholars -- help us to understand these roots". -- Michael Redclift, Ph.D.
When the ecological movement emerged in the 1960s, it warned that continued consumerism and growth would lead to ecological catastrophe. This "green" philosophy represented a challenge to the basic tenets of Marxism, which traditionally ignored issues of ecological sustainability. Tracing the history of the integration of ecological understanding with Marxist philosophy, The Greening of Marxism explores the influence of green politics on Marxism, examines the new politics emerging from these movements, and shows how red-green alliances can transform the political landscape. Notable contributions include the classic critique of political ecology by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, a debate on James O'Connor's notion of the second contradiction of capitalism, and critical essays from leading feminist thinkers such as Kate Soper and Mary Mellor.
May serve as a text in advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses in environment studies, sociology, philosophy, geography, or political science.
