<em>“This book has great potential to be useful as a guide to thinking about the global climate crisis and the politics necessary to overcome the problems.”</em> <strong>· Jon Marshall</strong>, University of Technology Sydney</p>
<p>
<em>“A very relevant, interesting, and useful book.”</em> <strong>· Ariel Salleh</strong>, University of Sydney</p>

As global economic and population growth continues to skyrocket, increasingly strained resources have made one thing clear: the desperate need for an alternative to capitalism. In Democratic Eco-Socialism as a Real Utopia, Hans Baer outlines the urgent need to reevaluate historical definitions of socialism, commit to social equality and justice, and prioritize environmental sustainability. Democatic eco-socialism, as he terms it, is a system capable of mobilizing people around the world, albeit in different ways, to prevent on-going human socio-economic and environmental degradation, and anthropogenic climate change.
