Karl Marx's Ecosocialism by Kōhei Saitō
Capital, Nature, and the Unfinished Critique of Political Economy
This book argues that Marx’s critique of capitalism already contains the foundations of an ecosocialist theory, tracing how capitalist production disrupts the ‘metabolic’ relation between society and nature and thereby generates ecological crises alongside social exploitation; through close readings of Marx’s writings and historical analysis, it reconstructs concepts like the metabolic rift, the commodification of natural processes, and the limits imposed by planetary processes, and shows how these lead to a program for systemic change—moving beyond market-driven growth toward democratically planned, commons-based, and ecologically sustainable social arrangements that restore balanced human–nature relations.
