Kohei Saito's Karl Marx's Ecosocialism: Capitalism, Nature, and the Unfinished Critique of Political Economy shows convincingly that Marx's ideas about the interaction between humanity and nature did not arrive fully formed, but arose from his rigorous engagement with science and philosophy. His insights still offer unparalleled tools to understand capitalism's current assault on the environment.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
