Description:
In this exciting book, Westra begins by tracing out the case for the Anthropocene. These include the Green New Deal, "nowtopias" of cooperative, solidarity and commoning economies, ecofeminism, Degrowth society as well as ecosocialism and democratic socialism.
Review Quotes:
In an era of deepening ecological catastrophes and increasingly authoritarian political responses, such creative thinking about alternatives is urgent. Political Economy of Eco-sustainable Alternatives provides essential tools for that work, combining critical clarity with theoretical depth to show how imagined futures can become materially realisable. In sum, Westra's book is indispensable for readers engaged with eco-socialism, de-growth, solidarity economics, sustainability debates, or those seeking to explore concrete suggestions to alternative eco-sustainable societies.
