November/December 2007: Capitalism vs the Earth

Volume 41, Number 6

In this issue, Joel Kovel and Ian Angus introduce the emerging ecosocialist movement and provide coverage of the International Ecosocialist Meeting in Paris on Oct. 7 and 8. Also in this issue, we launch our new regular feature, Around the Left in 60 Days, a semi-monthly roundup of actions and initiatives undertaken by progressive activists across the country. Plus, we continue our artists and politics series, provide analysis of the recent election in Ontario, take on media concentration in Canada and wish the New Left a happy 40th birthday!
