Why people recommend it
Marx in the Anthropocene is a book by Kohei Saito that reinterprets Karl Marx's work through an ecological lens, presenting degrowth communism as a necessary response to the climate crisis. On the podcast Behind the Bastards during the episode It Could Happen Here Weekly 61, aired on December 3, 2022, Robert Evans recommended Saito's work to the audience. Evans described Saito as a Japanese Marxist who had been writing extensively and emerging as perhaps the most prominent voice for degrowth in Japan. He noted that Saito's book, Capital in the Anthropocene, was finally preparing for translation into English in the near future. Evans encouraged listeners to watch out for the translation and check the work out, signaling enthusiasm for Saito's modern ecological critique of capitalism and his framework for addressing environmental degradation through a Marxist perspective. The recommendation highlighted the growing international interest in Saito's ideas connecting climate action with anti-capitalist economic restructuring.
