Marx and Nature

A Red and Green Perspective

Environment & Science

By Paul Burkett, Foreword by John Bellamy Foster

While recognizing that production is structured by historically developed relations among producers, Marx insists that production as a social and material process is shaped and constrained by natural conditions. Paul Burkett shows that it is Marx’s overriding concern with human emancipation that impels him to approach nature from the standpoint of materialist history, sociology, and critical political economy.
