His new book makes essential contributions to socialist strategy in our crisis times and, more broadly, to theorizing crisis. He develops a fresh understanding of the ecological crisis as one expression of capitalist crisis tendencies and persuasively argues against the left shibboleth that capitalist crises are good for radicals. “Crises are the enemy,” writes Holgersen, in his characteristically clear, captivating voice. The book will advance thinking among socialists familiar with crisis debates and active in movement struggles. It will also be an excellent resource for people becoming politicized who are newer to radical ideas. I recommend the book both to your radical reading group, and to instructors teaching critical sociology classes at undergraduate and grad levels.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-Reviews-section-" rel="directory">Reviews section</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Ecology-and-the-Environment-+" rel="tag">Ecology and the Environment</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Economy-+" rel="tag">Economy</a>
