@mike still curious, have you heard of this degrowth work from Japan? I’m feeling like we ought to make some room on this platform for degrowth, in particular.

I have heard of it, and was heartened to see it make a splash! Analogous to Piketty maybe. Guess we should read it?
I do think of degrowth as an important, central line in this subway network

Sure! I’d love to! But yeah I couldn’t find a copy of the book. Although I did find his earlier book which looks even more interesting actually, seems like a pretty thorough engagement with Marx.
” Ecology does not simply exist in Marx’s
thought—my thesis is a stronger one. I maintain that it is not possible to
comprehend the full scope of his critique of political economy if one ignores
its ecological dimension. In order to ground this statement, I will explore
Marx’s theory of “value” and “reification” (Versachlichung), because these
key categories reveal that Marx actually deals with the whole of nature, the
“material” world, as a place of resistance against capital, where the contradictions of capitalism are manifested most clearly.”
