Remaking Society: Pathways to a Green Future

Remaking Society is a primer on Murray Bookchin's pioneering and controversial ideas on nature and society. A major spokesperson for the ecology movement for over 20 years, Bookchin here uncovers the roots of today's global ecological crisis in the emergence of social hierarchy and domination.Bookchin argues that a humane solution to this crisis will require us to replace industrial capitalism with "an ecological society based on nonhierarchical relationships, decentralized democratic communities, and eco-technologies like solar power, organic agriculture, and humanly scaled industries." Drawing on the rich traditions of ecological science, anthropology, history, utopian philosophy, and ethics, Remaking Society offers today's Green activists a coherent framework for social and ecological reconstruction.
