Paperback. Condition: New. For nearly 300 years, capitalism propelled the world's most successful economies to new heights of development. But a spate of global environmental disasters and severe economic crises compels thinkers to question whether the system continues to function. Leveraging historical perspective, extensive research, and case studies, The Crises of Capitalism builds a compelling argument that challenges the most fundamental assumptions of prevailing economic theory. Saral Sarkar exposes capitalism's flaws through the lens of ecosocialism, a philosophy that asserts that natural resources drive production and development. Keynes, Schumpeter, Marx, and Engles had no reason to believe that there would ever be a shortage of oil, minerals, water, or foodâ"and that technological innovation could surmount any obstacle. But oil extraction has peaked, food is harder to come by, and the cost to maintain what natural resources remain has increased exponentially. Capitalism requires constant innovation to create growthâ"but as Sarkar establishes, even computers wouldn't exist without copper, gold, and zinc. The Crises of Capitalism exists at the intersection of environmental awareness and economic theory. Sarkar challenges predominant explanations for catastrophic events like the 2008 global economic crisis, revises the classic paradigm of growth, and points to evidence of systemic economic failure. In this provocative, revolutionary criticism, Sarkar suggests that like other longâ"abandoned economic theories, capitalism has reached its limits. "This is an important book, and it is on the front edge of the thinking that has to come to bear on the real crisis the world is facing, of the impossible idea of growth forever and the economic model that is driving the planet into irreversible crises." â"Doug Tompkins.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In his autobiography, Saral Sarkar takes us along on a journey through his interesting and eventful life. He is one of the few persons who experienced the first full half of his life in a poor third world country, India, and the other half in a very developed European country, Germany. And he experienced these two countries intensively.Unlike so many other immigrants, he did not come to Germany for economic reasons, but initially, in the 1960s, because of his love for the German language (being trained there as teacher for German), and then later in the 1980s he stayed there because of his love for his wife Maria Mies, a famous German feminist and sociologist.From an early age, he was very interested in political issues and movements, initially mainly from the left spectrum, but later (from the early 1970s on) his concern for ecological issues came to the foreground. The famous book The Limits to Growth (from 1972), which influenced an entire generation and served as an important impetus for the ecology movement, was also a turning point in his personal thinking. He experienced the rise of the green movement (and the Green Party) in Germany at first hand, but also left the Greens in disappointment in the second half of the 1980s.But it was not only political activism that shaped his life. From the 1980s onwards, he became an increasingly prominent author on environmental and political issues, with his two major works: 'Eco-Socialism or Eco-Capitalism A Critical Analysis of Humanity's Fundamental Choices' and 'The Crises of Capitalism - A Different Study of Political Economy'. It is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the most important contemporary thinkers on eco-political issues; one who coined the term 'eco-socialism' in a consequent and clear way.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This major synoptic work explores some of the most important questions facing humanity in the coming generations. It is remarkable for its author's holistic treatment of the environment and social justice as inescapably related questions; his refusal to analyze the industrialized and developing countries as though they are so different that any understanding of the one can ignore the other; and his integrity in exploring difficult and controversial questions from a stance that always addresses the evidence, even if that leads to conclusions that are not currently fashionable.Saral Sarkar argues that the USSR bumped up against environmentally defined and resource-related limits to growth at a relatively early stage. But this does not mean that a free market, globalized capitalist economy will indefinitely escape a similar fate. Nor will a modified 'eco-capitalism', as promoted by some sections of the Western environmental movement, provide a sufficiently grounded solution to the twin problems of environmental destruction and social injustice.The author looks, therefore, to a fundamentally different future - one in which our very notion of progress is differently conceived.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Saral Sarkar ist vielen als einer der profiliertesten Vertreter des 'Ökosozialismus' bekannt, der konsequent vom Paradigma der Grenzen des Wachstums ausgeht. Und genau aus dieser Perspektive wendet er sich in diesem Buch den Ursachen von Krieg und Gewalt sowie den Bedingungen des Friedens zu. Ist Krieg das unausweichliche Schicksal des Homo sapiens Sarkar beginnt seine Betrachtung zunächst bei den klassischen Aggressionstheorien der Verhaltensforschung (z.B. Konrad Lorenz, Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeld), der Primatologie, der kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie (Erich Fromm). Er stellt fest: Auch wenn Krieg als eine Konstante der Geschichte der menschlichen Zivilisation erscheint, sind wir keineswegs genetisch auf Krieg programmiert. Zur Geschichte des Homo sapiens gehört genauso ein tief verwurzeltes Erbe von Solidarität, Reziprozität und der Fähigkeit zur diskursiven Konfliktbewältigung. Da Sarkar alles andere ist als ein naiver Idealist, deckt er anhand der Konflikte und Kriege in jüngerer Zeit auf, welche kulturellen, ethnischen, sprachlichen und religiösen Faktoren ein erhebliches Gewaltpotenzial entfesseln können. Das ungebremste Bevölkerungswachstum und das industrielle Wachstum mit seiner Gier nach Ressourcen stellt Sarkar als die gegenwärtig wirkmächtigsten Hintergrundfaktoren militärischer Konflikte heraus. Dies macht die Originalität seines Beitrags aus. Anhand der konkreten Fallbeispiele des Genozids in Ruanda und des Israel-Palästina-Konflikts macht er deutlich, dass der demografische Druck entscheidend für die Entfesselung von Gewalt ist. Ergänzend zeigt Bruno Kern in seinem Beitrag vor allem: Wenn die Menschheit sich noch die Chance bewahren will, ihre ökologische Krise zu bewältigen, muss sie sich zugleich von jeder militärischen Logik verabschieden.…
