Marx's Ecology

Marx's Ecology (Full title: Marx's Ecology: Materialism and Nature) is a 2000 non-fiction book by American academic John Bellamy Foster. In it, Foster investigates the origins of materialism leading up to the works of the political theorist, economist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist, Karl Marx. In doing this, the argument is presented that far from the typical understanding of Marx as a promethean, he was strongly concerned with the environmental issues of his time, and many of his ideas had ecological components.
