The Politics of Ecosocialism: Transforming welfare

Book Overview

This book discusses the idea of "red-green" or "eco-socialist" society and how to get there. In examining today's crises of welfare capitalism as well as the challenges and conflicts of an eco-socialist society, the book analyses a social order that would combine the ideals of egalitarianism and of environmental sustainability. The book discusses the key social and ecological issues related to the welfare state, including green Keynesianism, ecological Marxism, the limits of growth and no-growth, capitalist barriers to a renewable energy transition, proposals for a universal basic income and the role of technology.
