Ecosocialism - by Michael Löwy (Paperback)

About the Book

Revolutionary ideas and strategies to save the planet.

Book Synopsis

Capitalism is killing the planet, and the preservation of a natural environment favorable to human life requires a radical alternative. In this new collection of essays, long time revolutionary and environmental activist Michael Löwy offers a vision of ecosocialist transformation. This vision combines an understanding of the destructive logic of the capitalist system with an appreciation for ongoing struggles, particularly in Latin America.

Review Quotes

Praise for On Changing the World:

"His collection of essays, combining scholarship with passion, impresses by its sweep and scope."
--Daniel Singer, author, Prelude to Revolution

"Michael Löwy is unquestionably a tremendous figure in the decades-long attempt to recover an authentic revolutionary tradition from the wreckage of Stalinism, and these essays are very often powerful examples of this process."
--Dominic Alexander, Counterfire
