Octopus Books is proud to host ecosocialist activist Ian Angus at the launch of The Global Fight for Climate Justice, on Tuesday, March 23.
The launch takes place at the store, 116 Third Ave, at 7 pm. No admission fee.
The book is a collection of 46 essays, written by anticapitalist activists from five continents. Ian Angus, the editor of the essay collection, is also the editor of the online journal Climate and Capitalism.
As capitalism continues with business as usual, climate change is fast expanding the gap between rich and poor between and within nations, and imposing unparalleled suffering on those least able to protect themselves.
The topics of the essays range from the food crisis to carbon trading to perspectives from indigenous peoples, and they make a compelling case that saving the world from climate catastrophe will require much more than tinkering with technology or taxes. Only radical social change can prevent irreversible damage to the earth and civilization.
