The Dialectics of Ecology


Book Description

Explores ecological socialism's potential against capitalist environmental degradation Today the fate of the earth as a home for humanity is in question—and yet, contends John Bellamy Foster, the reunification of humanity and the earth remains possible if we are prepared to make revolutionary changes. As with his prior books, The Dialectics of Ecology is grounded in the contention that we are now faced with a concrete choice between ecological socialism and capitalist exterminism, and rooted in insights drawn from the classical historical materialist tradition. In this latest work, Foster explores the complex theoretical debates that have arisen historically with respect to the dialectics of nature and society. He then goes on to examine the current contradictions associated with the confrontation between capitalist extractivism and the financialization of nature, on the one hand, and the radical challenges to these represented by emergent visions of ecological civilization and planned degrowth, on the other. The product of contemporary ecosocialist debates, The Dialectics of Ecology builds on earlier works by Foster, including Marx’s Ecology and The Return of Nature, aimed at the development of a dialectical naturalism and the formation of a path to sustainable human development.




Personal Finance


Book Description

"With the highest inflation in decades, her graduation cohort faced much higher costs for rent and food, without the benefit of similarly higher salary offers. Many of her friends, particularly those who had high levels of student loan and credit card debts, decided to move back home with their families temporarily to help make ends meet. Recent evidence suggests that as many as 20 percent of young adults are now living with their parents-about twice as many as did so in past decades. In fact, as more kids come home to roost with their Baby Boom parents, it's increasingly common to hear them called the "boomerang" generation"--
