Join Matt Huber, a geography professor and author focused on climate change and class struggles, and Kohei Saito, a Marx scholar advocating for degrowth communism. They dive into how Marx's ideas can reshape socialism amidst ecological crises. Expect discussions on the pitfalls of GDP, critiques of consumerism, and the necessity of ecological approaches to energy. They highlight the importance of collective action for justice, the redefinition of progress, and the search for joy in the fight against climate change and social inequality.

Nancy Fraser, a prominent critical theorist and professor, delves into the concept of 'cannibal capitalism,' where she critiques how capitalism exploits both social and ecological resources. She discusses alternatives for a sustainable future, advocating for democratic economic planning and equitable resource distribution. Fraser also highlights the importance of unwaged labor and rethinks participation in labor movements amidst climate change. Through historical examples, she envisions a more inclusive framework that values collaboration over competition.
