Clearly, this places special challenges before Marxism, which has itself been accused, with some justification, of failing to transcend capital's anti-ecological character. We need to explore the foundations of an ecological, as well as democratic, socialism. Joel Kovel is a psychoanalyst, author, and Alger Hiss Professor of Social Studies at Bard College. ***** All Brecht Forum lectures are available on audiotape for $8.
