Online discussion of ‘Metabolic Rifts: Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System’

Author Ian Angus and others introduce and discuss this important new book


Ian Angus’s new book, Metabolic Rifts: Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System, draws on a wealth of modern research to extend and deepen the natural science basis of Marxist ecology. In clear, non-technical language, Metabolic Rifts offers a scientific basis for understanding the deep causes of today’s environmental crises and a program for action to prevent catastrophe in our time.
