El capital en la era del Antropoceno. Una llamada a liberar la imaginación para cambiar el sistema y frenar el cambio climático.

The text is a review of the book "El capital en la era del Antropoceno" written by Kohei Saito. The author addresses the relationship between capitalism and the climate crisis, proposing a transition towards what he calls "degrowth communism". The book presents a critical review of the Sustainable Development Goals and international agreements related to emissions reduction. Although the argumentation is well articulated, it lacks depth in the use of empirical evidence. The author seeks to contribute to a just and sustainable society without sacrificing freedom, equality, and democracy. The text criticizes Saito's work for omitting Marxist references in his analysis of degrowth and Marxism. Despite these omissions, Chapter 6 of the book presents an interesting account of how capitalism generates deficiencies and how communism can lead to abundance. The author proposes measures such as the recovery of the commons, the democratization of the economy, and economic deceleration. However, the text also points out that the book lacks empirical analysis and concrete political proposals, which weakens its argument. Additionally, it does not address the problem of power or desire in the implementation of these proposals. Despite this, the book offers an orderly review of the arguments and is recommended for those interested in understanding how Marx would analyze the problem of the climate emergency.
