Reveals the ideal of a sustainable ecosocialist world in Marx’s writings

Karl Marx, author of what is perhaps the world’s most resounding and significant critique of bourgeois political economy, has frequently been described as a “Promethean.” According to critics, Marx held an inherent belief in the necessity of humans to dominate the natural world, in order to end material want and create a new world of fulfillment and abundance—a world where nature is mastered, not by anarchic capitalism, but by a planned socialist economy. Understandably, this perspective has come under sharp attack, not only from mainstream environmentalists but also from ecosocialists, many of whom reject Marx outright.

Kohei Saito’s Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism lays waste to accusations of Marx’s ecological shortcomings. Delving into Karl Marx’s central works, as well as his natural scientific notebooks—published only recently and still being translated—Saito also builds on the works of scholars such as John Bellamy Foster and Paul Burkett, to argue that Karl Marx actually saw the environmental crisis embedded in capitalism. “It is not possible to comprehend the full scope of [Marx’s] critique of political economy,” Saito writes, “if one ignores its ecological dimension.”

Saito’s book is crucial today, as we face unprecedented ecological catastrophes—crises that cannot be adequately addressed without a sound theoretical framework. Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism shows us that Marx has given us more than we once thought, that we can now come closer to finishing Marx’s critique, and to building a sustainable ecosocialist world.

A Deep Dive Into Marx's Notebooks

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

If you haven't cracked open a book on Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels since you were in college, this is as good a place to start as any. There's been a cottage industry in secondary works devoted to scrutinizing Marx's extensive and largely unpublished notebooks, a running compendium of his thoughts and pet theories. Author Kohei Saito mines them for any indications of what the father of socialism might have written on the subject of Nature and capital's relationship to it. Unsurprisingly, it is as manipulative and exploitive of it as it is of Labor. The reader's joy derives from seeing how Saito, who personally translated this English version of the original published in German, threads the needle from Das Kapital to Feuerbach and beyond.

Inaccurate cover, poor quality

Arrived with a different cover than pictured, made from some kind of unpleasant rubbery plastic material. Typesetting was weird and cramped, with really narrow margins. I really physically unappealing book.

L'écologisme de Marx enfin rendu indiscutable. La rupture métabolique ...

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

L'écologisme de Marx enfin rendu indiscutable. La rupture métabolique d'avec la nature apparaît clairement comme une redoutable promesse du capitalisme, identifiée par Marx il y a plus de 150 ans. S'il avait vécu de nos jours, Marx se soucierait de promouvoir la permaculture et le biorégionalisme. Une longue et intéressante discussion de l'évolution de l'agronomie, telle qu'il l'a étudiée sur plus de 15 ans, occupe la partie centrale du livre. Ce livre devrait être perçu comme une lecture indispensable chez tous ceux qui viennent aux études environnementales selon une trajectoire intellectuelle ou académique dominée par les sciences naturelles.

Magistral!

Reviewed in Brazil 🇧🇷 on November 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

O trabalho de Kohei Saito é de fundamental importância para o aprofundamento da compreensão da dimensão ecológica do pensamento de Marx. Com este trabalho, o autor se insere em uma tradição bibliográfica já consolidada e capitaneada por nomes como Paul Burkett , John B. Foster, Ian Angus e Fred Magdoff, dentre outros. Saito oferece uma perspectiva indispensável sobre construção inacabada da crítica da economia política de Marx, apontando para a contradição principal do capitalismo: a perturbação do intercâmbio metabólico entre homem e natureza.
