This book is ideal for readers interested in political ecology, Marxist theory, and environmental critiques of capitalism. It suits scholars, students, and activists seeking a deeper understanding of how classical Marxist ideas intersect with contemporary ecological issues.

In this compelling anti-critique the founders of the Eco-socialist school of thought respond to their chief intellectual detractors.

Description

Over a decade ago, Foster and Burkett introduced a revolutionary understanding of the ecological foundations of Marx's thought, demonstrating that Marx's concepts of the universal metabolism of nature, social metabolism, and metabolic rift prefigured much of modern systems ecology.

In this volume, Marx And The Earth, Foster and Burkett expand on this analysis in the process of responding to recent eco-socialist criticisms of Marx.
