Against The Crisis

Economy and Ecology in a Burning World

by Ståle Holgersen (translator) & Steven Cuzner (translator)

Capitalism produces crises and crises reproduce capitalism. We need an ecosocialist way out

If crisis defines our era, we need a coherent socialist policy in response. Ståle Holgersen delves into today's economic  and ecological crises to demonstrate that they are not exceptions to an otherwise functioning system but integral to its  operation. It is naive to see these upheavals as opportunities for reform or revolution. They are the bedrock of the status quo. Fortunately, the vicious circle sustaining capitalism is not founded on an iron law. Our historical mission in the face of the climate crisis is to create a historical exception to the rule. It is time for ecosocialism against crisis.
