A lucid and rigorous demonstration that climate change cannot be
overcome unless capitalism is overcome. The scourge of humanity is
also the scourge of nature. This is a great achievement: putting
forth the necessary contours of the direction that must be taken if
we are to be equal to the greatest challenge ever faced by
humankind. - Joel Kovel, author of The Enemy of Nature The climate
crisis is at a critical moment while millions despair that no
action is being taken. The difficulties our "world leaders" have in
taking meaningful action do not spring out of nowhere but from
their refusal to understand that this crisis is the consequence of
the globalised, neoliberal economic system. This book argues that
we cannot simply green our current society, but that we need a more
thorough, more fundamental social transformation. - Natalie
Bennett, leader of the Green Party of England and Wales An
important contribution to outlining an ecosocialist project able to
overcome the contradictions between a critique of capitalism and
ecology. Daniel Tanuro demonstrates that climate change cannot be
separated from the "normal" functioning of capitalism. He argues
that it is therefore necessary to replace the logic of maximising
profit with that of maximising common well-being within an
environmental framework. The reading of this book should convince
ecologists to become anti-capitalists. And vice-versa. - Michel
Husson, an economist at the IRES Paris, author and global justice
activist
