Since 1964, the "Socialist Register" has brought together leading
writers on the left to investigate aspects of a common theme.
"Coming to Terms with Nature: Socialist Register 2007" examines
whether capitalism can come to terms with today's ecological
challenges and whether socialist thought has developed sufficiently
to help us do so. Topics include: the ecological contradictions of
capitalist accumulation and the growing social conflicts they
create; the relationship between imperialism, markets, oil
politics, and renewable energy; the significance of the impasse
over the Kyoto protocol; and whether market forces and technology
can overcome the "limits to growth" while preserving the biosphere.
These essays also analyze how deeply consumerism affects working
class politics and the shortcomings of Green parties and "green
commerce." In addition, they address the necessity to redefine
standards of living chiefly in the countries of the North in order
to allow for the global redistribution of wealth and income that
are critical for development in the South.
The international roster of contributors includes Mike Davis and
Neil Smith, Enrique Leff, Joan Martinez-Alier, Elmar Altvater, and
Michael Lowy.
