Abstract
Abstract Although I am highly critical of Matthew Huber’s book Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet, I share with him a conviction of the centrality of class in any analysis of climate change. I engage with the argument that Matthew Huber develops under two headings: first, his conceptualization of class, working-class interests, and working-class politics, and second, what the analytic of socioecological reproduction could contribute to thinking on class and climate crisis. This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with ‘Climate Change as Class War.’”
