The answer to this and some hopefully more useful and pertinent questions will be revealed on this weeks show as Jack and Dan continue their foray into the world of ecological theory. The lads read some John Bellamy Foster and learn all about how Karl Marx was, contrary to popular perception, a deeply ecologically minded thinker who was all too aware of the environmental destruction wrought by our old foe capitalism. Reading: Marx's Theory of Metabolic Rift, Classical Foundations for Environmental Sociology by John Bellamy Foster (1999) and The Oxford Handbook of Karl Marx Chapter 33. Metabolic Rifts and the Ecological Crisis by Brett Clark, John Bellamy Foster, and Stefano B. Longo (2019).
