The article discusses Kohei Saito's book "Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism," which explores the ecological aspects of Karl Marx's work and proposes the concept of "degrowth communism." Saito argues that Marx's thinking was influenced by ecological issues and that his later work shows a shift away from a Promethean productivist view of nature. Saito also examines Marx's interest in ecology, the natural sciences, and the history of the commons, suggesting that Marx embraced a new worldview of degrowth communism. The article acknowledges the book's contribution to the understanding of Marx and Marxism, but also points out some limitations and unanswered questions. [Extracted from the article] |
