COMING TO TERMS WITH NATURE (SOCIALIST REGISTER 2007)

Παρουσίαση

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? (From the publisher)
