PERSPECTIVES ON A GLOBAL GND

 

Join Kate Aronoff, Avi Lewis, Tina Ngata, Jale Samuwai, Harsha Walia, Dalia Gebrial and Harpreet Kaur Paul to discuss:

 

• What would it mean for the GND to work on a global level?
• How can we think beyond the boundaries of national politics, in favour of a truly transnational approach?
• What would it take for the transition to democratic, decarbonised, resilient and reparative systems to work for the global many, not the few?

A new bill to reform the NHS in England: the wrong proposals at the wrong time - The BMJ

The government’s draft white paper for reform of the NHS in England, which was leaked on 5 February 2021, is a remarkable document—as much for what it does not say, as for what it proposes..

Book Launch – “The Return of Nature: Socialism and Ecology” by John Bellamy Foster Organised by the Socialist History Society Sunday 14th February 2021 6pm GMT [10am Oregon time] Zoom Meeting – Free, but you will need to register here: http://bit.ly/3643Lx9 Speaker: John Bellamy Foster Twenty years ago, John Bellamy Foster’s Marx’s Ecology: Materialism and Nature introduced a new understanding of Karl Marx’s revolutionary ecological materialism. More than simply a study of Marx, it commenced an intellectual and social history, encompassing thinkers from Epicurus to Darwin, who developed materialist and ecological ideas. Now, with The Return of Nature: Socialism and Ecology, Foster continues this narrative. In so doing, he uncovers a long history of efforts to unite issues of social justice and environmental sustainability that will help us comprehend and counter today’s unprecedented planetary emergencies. The Return of Nature begins with the deaths of Darwin (1882) and Marx (1883) and moves on until the rise of the ecological age in the 1960s and 1970s. Foster explores how socialist analysts and materialist scientists of various stamps, first in Britain, then the United States, from William Morris and Frederick Engels to Joseph Needham, Rachel Carson, and Stephen Jay Gould, sought to develop a dialectical naturalism, rooted in a critique of capitalism. In the process, he delivers a far-reaching and fascinating reinterpretation of the radical and socialist origins of ecology. Ultimately, what this book asks for is nothing short of revolution: a long, ecological revolution, aimed at making peace with the planet while meeting collective human need.
