Sickened by the contamination of their water, their air, of the Earth itself, more and more people are coming to realize that it is capitalism that is, quite literally, killing them. It is now clearer than ever that capitalism is also degrading the Earth’s ability to support other forms of life. Capitalism’s imperative—to make profit at all costs and expand without end—is destabilizing Earth’s climate, while increasing human misery and inequality on a planetary scale. Already, hundreds of millions of people are facing poverty in the midst of untold wealth, perpetual war, growing racism, and gender oppression. The need to organize for social and environmental reforms has never been greater. But crucial as reforms are, they cannot solve our intertwined ecological and social crises. Creating an Ecological Society reveals an overwhelmingly simple truth: Fighting for reforms is vital, but revolution is essential. Because it aims squarely at replacing capitalism with an ecologically sound and socially just society, Creating an Ecological Society is filled with revolutionary hope. Fred Magdoff and Chris Williams, who have devoted their lives to activism, Marxist analysis, and ecological science, provide informed, fascinating accounts of how a new world can be created from the ashes of the old. Their book shows that it is possible to envision and create a society that is genuinely democratic, equitable, and ecologically sustainable. And possible—not one moment too soon—for society to change fundamentally and be brought into harmony with nature.

"Throughout his life, Murray Bookchin presented a radical and humanist vision of ecology, showing that we could modify our institutions, our societies and our vision of what they could be to develop a more inclusive and free society. This collection of essays presents Murray Bookchin's Social Ecology and its importance in the 21st century. It gathers activists close to Murray Bookchin's ideas, and companions of struggle and dear friends who share his vision of an ecological society, based on communalism, direct democracy and the promises of the Enlightenment."--

Nachhaltigkeit ist zu einem Leitbegriff des gesellschaftlichen Wandels geworden, mit dem sich unterschiedliche Zielvorstellungen verbinden - sei es ein grüner Kapitalismus, der auf ökologischer Modernisierung beruht, oder eine sozial-ökologische Transformation, die eine postkapitalistische Ära einläuten könnte. In dieser Programmschrift von Sighard Neckel und seinem Hamburger Forschungsteam werden die gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen von Nachhaltigkeit aufgezeigt, aber auch die Paradoxien, die mit einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung im globalen Kapitalismus verbunden sind. Grundlegende soziologische Perspektiven auf Nachhaltigkeit sind ebenso Thema wie Ausblicke in konkrete Felder einer kritisch-reflexiven Sozialforschung zu den gesellschaftlichen Konflikten um Nachhaltigkeit.
