工业革命以来的经济增长是以自然环境和社区自治为代价的。马克思主义的观点可以为理解这一令人不安的遗产并减轻其对子孙后代的影响做出什么贡献？社会理论家詹姆斯·奥康纳（James O'Connor）展示了企业和政府的政策和命令如何影响环境和社会变化，以及如何受环境和社会变化影响。奥康纳探讨了经济、自然和社会之间的关系，认为环境和社会危机对资本主义本身构成了越来越大的威胁。这些文章展示了生态马克思主义分析在理解我们多样化的环境和社会历史、为现实世界中的经济行为奠定基础以及制定和评估新的政治战略方面的力量。
Economic growth since the Industrial Revolution has been achieved at great cost both to the natural environment and to the autonomy of communities. What can a Marxist perspective contribute to understanding this disturbing legacy, and mitigating its impact on future generations? Social theorist James O'Connor demonstrates how the policies and imperatives of business and government influence - and are influenced by - environment and social change. Probing the relationship between economy, nature and society, O'Connor argues that environmental and social crises pose a growing threat to capitalism itself. These essays demonstrate the power of ecological Marxist analysis for understanding our diverse environment and social history, for grounding economic behaviour in the real world, and for formulating and evaluating new political strategies.
