Facing the Anthropocene: Fossil Capitalism and the Crisis of the Earth System by Ian Angus

jennahoog's review against another edition

this book is super jumpy from topic to topic and the writing is kind of boring but overall it’s a good call to action. does a very good job of blending natural science and marxist analysis to explain in accessible language how we got here which is great but is frustratingly anti nuclear power throughout? like equates fossil fuels and nuclear in terms of dirtiness multiple times which is just weird stuff. worth the read though

By starting with the science and linking it to a Marxist understanding of capitalism and society's metabolic interaction with nature, Ian Angus has written an important book that will help to strengthen and develop the left's understanding of these issues. It ought to be widely read.
