What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know about Capitalism

What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know about Capitalism is a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between capitalism and environmental degradation. Written by two leading environmental economists, Fred Magdoff and John Bellamy Foster, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the root causes of ecological crisis and the faltering capitalist economy.

The authors argue that efforts to reform capitalism along environmental lines or rely solely on new technology to avert catastrophe are misguided. Instead, they contend that a firm grasp of economic reality is essential for reversing ecological degradation. This book provides a sharply argued manifesto for those who reject schemes of "green capitalism" and instead advocate for fundamental changes to the system.

With its thorough analysis and accessible approach, What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know about Capitalism is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complex issues at the heart of our environmental crisis. The book's provocative arguments are sure to spark debate in the environmental movement and inspire readers to think critically about the role of capitalism in shaping our relationship with the natural world.
