The Enemy of Nature, The End of Capitalism or The End of the World?

A powerful and controversial book arguing that capitalism is inherently ecologically destructive and cannot be reformed since its basic nature is competitive and is associated with the domination of nature. The author is a professor of social studies who has worked for the Greens and sought their presidential nomination in 2000. His own answer is a new form of ecosocialism embodied in the aspirations of the World Social Forum. This implies Greens engaging with capital and socialists with nature. The challenge of this generation is to transform our relationship with nature in any event and this book is a stimulating contribution to the process.
