As the global economy seeks to recover from the financial crisis
and warnings about the consequences of climate change abound, it is
clear that we need a fundamentally new approach to tackle these
issues. This innovative book offers a unique perspective, stressing
the necessity of both ecological and social change as it discusses
how to create a "red-green" or "eco-socialist" society. Examining
the current crises of welfare capitalism as well as the challenges
and conflicts of an eco-socialist society, the book proposes a new
social order that would combine the ideals of egalitarianism and of
environmental sustainability. It analyses the key social and
ecological issues related to the welfare state, including green
Keynesianism, ecological Marxism, the limits of growth and
no-growth, capitalist barriers to a renewable energy transition,
proposals for a universal basic income and the role of technology.
Finally, the book outlines possible paths of transformation towards
creating an eco-socialist society, drawing out lessons that can be
applied internationally. This book will be of great interest to
students and researchers in economics, environmental studies and
political science.
