More Description

Socialism in Process is a collection of essays envisioning just such an alternative. Drawing on classic socialist texts such as Marx's Capital, as well as the ecological philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, the authors explore the emerging features of a distinctively American socialism. Both theoretical foundations and practical applications are considered. In particular, the authors demonstrate the strong and tragic connection between contemporary capitalism and the global climate crisis. Socialism in Process is indispensable reading for all who recognize the injustices of the present economic system, which adds to the wealth of the 1% at the expense of the remaining 99%. Building on the long and vital history of socialism in the United Sates, this volume plays a crucial role in the resurgence of socialism in North America today. As the authors suggest, community-based, locally grown socialist movements offer answers to many of America's most tenacious problems.
