Overview
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.
