Description: According to Murray Bookchin, a humane solution to the climate crisis—a crisis he was among the first to identify—will require replacing industrial capitalism with an egalitarian, ecological society, decentralized democratic communities, and sustainable technologies like solar power, organic agriculture, and humanly scaled industries. Since he first penned these ideas, our situation has only gotten worse, and people want answers. Drawing on rich traditions of ecological science, anthropology, history, utopian philosophy, and ethics, Remaking Society offers today's environmentalists a coherent framework for social and ecological reconstruction. This pioneering work on nature and society provides readers with clear strategies for averting disaster.
