Eco-Localism
If your goal is ecological sustainability, how often have you been urged to get active on the local level? Greg Albo critiques localist projects that deny or ignore the extra-local capitalist and neoliberal context. He also questions whether small-scale enterprises and local political practice are in fact more environmentally responsible and democratic. And Leo Panitch shares some of the other insights offered in the anthology Socialist Register 2007.
