Annotation Summary:


Editor of the Monthly Review, Foster (sociology, U. of Oregon) argues that all hope for the future in human relation to the earth is either revolutionary or false. He demonstrates that the root causes of the environmental crisis lie in the capitalist mode of production, so that environmental devastation is merely a symptom of the larger economic crisis. His topics include Rachel Carson's ecological critique, peak oil and energy imperialism, the Pentagon and climate change, Marx's ecology in historical perspective, the nature of the contradiction between capitalism and ecology, envisioning ecological revolution, and ecology and the transition from capitalism to socialism.
