Finally… This book will radically change the general perception of Marx’s communism.
Tithi Bhattacharya’s endorsement beautifully captures main points of my book. So here it is:
‘Marx in the Anthropocene is a deeply restorative project, both analytically and politically. Through a detailed examination of Marx’s notebooks on the natural sciences, Kohei Saito reminds us why Marx insisted that the relationship between nature and capitalism was fundamentally unsustainable. The book restores to us a forgotten Marx, one who is eager to learn from precapitalist societies, one who is beginning to see destruction in development. Taking his lead from this longneglected Marx, Saito then builds a powerful argument for degrowth communism, a theoretical approach that aims to reorganize the very notion of abundance to fit the common weal, rather than fit an abstract notion of luxury communism. Marx in the Anthropocene reminds us, again, why anticapitalism is the nutrient that must be urgently added to nature’’
