A revolutionary response to environmental crisis
Edited by Martin Empson
We are in the midst of the greatest environmental crisis humanity has ever seen. Yet despite politicians’ rhetoric, repeated warnings from the scientific community and countless international conferences, the situation is getting worse. This book brings together articles from leading socialist and environmental activists who argue that the problem is the capitalist system.
