Revolutionary ideas and strategies to save the planet.
Capitalism is killing the planet, and the preservation of a natural environment favorable to human life requires a radical alternative. In this new collection of essays, long time revolutionary and environmental activist Michael Löwy offers a vision of ecosocialist transformation. This vision combines an understanding of the destructive logic of the capitalist system with an appreciation for ongoing struggles, particularly in Latin America.
Reviews
  • Praise for On Changing the World:

    "His collection of essays, combining scholarship with passion, impresses by its sweep and scope."
    —Daniel Singer, author, Prelude to Revolution

    "Michael Löwy is unquestionably a tremendous figure in the decades-long attempt to recover an authentic revolutionary tradition from the wreckage of Stalinism, and these essays are very often powerful examples of this process."
    —Dominic Alexander, Counterfire
