Facing global climate crisis, Karl Marx's ecological critique of
capitalism more clearly demonstrates its importance than ever. This
book explains why Marx's ecology had to be marginalized and even
suppressed by Marxists after his death throughout the twentieth
century. Marx's ecological critique of capitalism, however, revives
in the Anthropocene against dominant productivism and monism.
Investigating new materials published in the complete works of Marx
and Engels (Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe), Saito offers a wholly novel
idea of Marx's alternative to capitalism that should be adequately
characterized as degrowth communism. This provocative
interpretation of the late Marx sheds new lights on the recent
debates on the relationship between society and nature and invites
readers to envision a post-capitalist society without repeating the
failure of the actually existing socialism of the twentieth
century.
