Title: <i>Green</i> Marxism and the Institutional Structure of a Global Socialist Future
Abstract: The green challenge to Marx's socialist vision for its purported commitment to industrial giganticism and the fact that a green politics has emerged as a focal point for oppositions to the current world order has spurred Marxists to reconsider the theory and practice of socialism in a green light. The present chapter follows in the spirit of that work intent upon defending the potency of Marxist theory – particularly Marxian economics – to expose the roots and modalities of the eco-destructive tendencies of capitalism. And, this work shares in the belief that it is only through the building of a genuine socialism that an eco-sustainable global future for humanity can be realized. However, the chapter maintains the case Marxism makes regarding such paramount questions needs to be strengthened and that there exists a latent power of Marxian analysis waiting to be tapped for precisely this purpose.
