Solarmarx: The World Beyond the Capitalocene - Paperback

by Ana Sun (Author), Rich Larson (Author), Sylvie Denis (Author)

In a world where ecological and economic crises are no longer just future threats but everyday realities, Solarmarx - The World Beyond the Capitalocene offers ten radical, pluralistic, and necessary visions that explore the twilight of fossil capitalism and predatory accumulation, while proposing in exchange a regenerative imagination grounded in climate justice, interspecies solidarity, and decolonizing technologies.
From Erick J. Mota's agricultural Cuba to the fire-scarred landscapes of rural Spain imagined by Ana Sun, from the post-human symbioses of Cheryl Ntumy's Ghana to the lacustrine visions of a reinvented future by Francesco Verso on the shores of Lake Baikal, these stories open windows onto worlds that reject the rule of extractivism and limitless consumption.
From Gustavo Bondoni's arid and automated Argentina, the stage of a silent struggle for survival, to the hyper-technological and unsettling France of Sylvie Denis, the rewilded Canada of Rich Larson, and the sentient ecosystems of the United States depicted by Johnny Caputo-each story is a lens onto the world that could be, beyond profit and control.
Solarmarx is not just an anthology: it is a narrative platform weaving together voices from diverse geographies-Argentina, Canada, Cuba, France, Ghana, Greece, Italy, Malaysia, and the United States-to imagine a future in which the Global South and the world's peripheries become the protagonists of ecopolitical transformation.
