4th volume of our book series published

20 July 2022

We are pleased to announce that the 4th volume of our book series "Futures of Sustainability" has been published by Campus:

"Kapitalismus und Nachhaltigkeit" (Link)
Edited by Sighard Neckel, Philipp Degens und Sarah Lenz

Are capitalism and sustainability compatible? If yes: With which consequences and side-effects do capitalist economies succeed in finding an answer to the multiple ecological crises? Is it impossible that "creative destruction" (Schumpeter) as a mode of capitalist dynamics does not also "creatively" destroy fossil capitalism and invent new "combinations of things and forces" that actually make capitalism green? Or are there material barriers to this, which lie in the material properties of eco-systems? Does capitalism ultimately fail because of the ecological question?

With contributions by Alyssa Battistoni, Jedediah Britton-Purdy, Philipp Degens, Klaus Dörre, Nancy Fraser, Ali Aslan Gümüsay, Ulrike Herrmann, Lisa Knoll, Sarah Lenz, Mariana Mazzucato, Jason W. Moore, Sighard Neckel, Kohei Saito and Jin-Wook Shin.
