Saito, K. (2023). Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the idea of degrowth communism. Cambridge University Press

Abstract

Kohei Saito reviews the Marxian approach to ecology, building on the work done under MEGA project. Marx’s perspective on history and the exploitation of nature differs significantly from what commonly attributed to him. Saito rigorously examines Marx’s evolving ideas, questioning concepts such as economic growth, free time, and the development of productive forces. Consequently, the absolute conclusion to be drawn from Marx’s ideas is not the glorification of endless production. By redefining wealth, the concept of degrowth communism emerges as an important political strategy.
