The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is honoured to welcome Ståle Holgersen for the Toronto launch of his new book Against the Crisis: Economy and Ecology in a Burning World!

If crisis defines our era, we need a coherent socialist policy in response. Today’s economic and ecological crises are not exceptions to an otherwise functioning system but integral to its operation. It is naive to see these upheavals as opportunities for reform or revolution. They are the bedrock of the status quo. Fortunately, the vicious circle sustaining capitalism is not founded on an iron law. Our historical mission in the face of the climate crisis is to create a historical exception to the rule. It is time for ecosocialism against crisis.

Capitalism produces crises and crises reproduce capitalism. We need an ecosocialist way out.

Published by Verso Books Ståle Holgersen’s new book Against the Crisis is a powerful intervention in favour of an ecosocialist response to modern capitalism’s seemingly rotating door of crisis and calamity.
