Democratic Eco-Socialism as a Real Utopia outlines the urgent need to reevaluate the current system, and replace it with one capable of mobilizing people globally to prevent on-going human socio-economic, environmental degradation, and anthropogenic climate change.
As global economic and population growth continues to skyrocket, increasingly strained resources have made one thing clear: the desperate need for an alternative to capitalism. In Democratic Eco-Socialism as a Real Utopia, Hans Baer outlines the urgent need to reevaluate historical definitions of socialism, commit to social equality and justice, and prioritize environmental sustainability. Democatic eco-socialism, as he terms it, is a system capable of mobilizing people around the world, albeit in different ways, to prevent on-going human socio-economic and environmental degradation, and anthropogenic climate change.
