A thought-provoking read that challenges conventional environmentalism. Kumar’s Marxist perspective offers a unique lens, though sometimes feels overly critical. Good analysis overall.
Sarvjeet Singh Lalana –
A powerful and insightful critique! This book connects the dots between economic systems and environmental destruction in a way few others do. Highly recommended.
Shifa Islam –
An interesting take, but the writing style is a bit dense. Some arguments felt repetitive. Still, worth reading for a different perspective on the ecological crisis.
Tanushri Mehra –
While I appreciate the Marxist analysis, I found the book lacked practical solutions. It’s great at identifying problems, but less so at offering remedies.
Tanushree Nangia –
I found this book to be quite informative and eye-opening. It changed how I view the ecological crisis. Some of the arguments made are very strong
Aarshi Singla –
Kumar successfully highlights the role of capitalism in the ecological crisis. A must-read for anyone interested in the political economy of the environment.
Ankit Bhatt –
Excellent analysis. The author masterfully connects ecological degradation with capitalist expansion. A wake-up call for anyone who cares about the planet’s future.
Yatharth Mangla –
Kumar does a great job connecting environmental issues to broader socio-economic forces. A very important contribution to the field.
Rohit S –
While well-researched, the book’s tone is overly pessimistic. A bit more balance would have made it more palatable. Still, I learned a lot. I disagree with some points.
Dheeraj Yadav –
A bit too theoretical for my taste. I was hoping for more concrete examples of the ecological crisis. The historical context provided was a plus, though.
Yashasvi Manish Modi –
Challenging and insightful. It provides a framework to critically evaluate current environmental policies. Forces you to think about capitalism and its impact.
Hitarth –
The book offers a compelling analysis, but at times the Marxist jargon can be a bit heavy. Overall a solid read, though not for beginners.
