A Political Ecology of a World in Crisis

Climate breakdown, resource conflicts, and the rise of authoritarianism are closely connected to how capitalism organizes production and consumption.

In Capitalism at the Limit, Ulrich Brand and Markus Wissen, authors of The Imperial Mode of Living, argue that “green capitalism” can’t resolve the crisis and instead sharpens geopolitical struggles and feeds the rise of the far right.

Join us for a discussion between Ulrich Brand (University of Vienna) and Suzanne Schneider (executive director of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research) about the eco-socialist case for challenging the power of capital instead, and about what more sustainable ways of organizing the economy might look like.
