Recensioner i media

This thought-provoking study argues that Marx's study of Charles Darwin led him to develop a distinctively Marxian concept of natural history that provides crucial direction for promoting an eco-socialist alternative to capitalism. An incisive work that is likely to spur lively discussion and debate.
