Abstract

Matthew Huber’s recently published book, Climate Change as Class War (Verso, 2022), offers an important contribution to recent socialist debates about how to deal with the climate crisis. In September 2022, Studies in Political Economy editor Ryan Katz-Rosene sat down with Huber and asked him to elaborate on his vision for a “socialist ecomodernism.” This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with Climate Change as Class War.
