Brian M. Napoletano
Brian Napoletano considers the implications of recent work by Kohei Saito, in which Saito argues that Marx's thought progressed from early productivism to middle-stage ecosocialism, and finally to degrowth communism. Where Saito misses, Napoletano concludes, is in emphasizing Marx's supposed break between growth-oriented capitalism and degrowth-oriented communism, rather than emphasizing a human- and sustainability-oriented dialectical ecosocialism requiring a true social and political revolution.

Chris Gilbert
In a vividly drawn account of El Maizal Commune, Chris Gilbert provides readers with a window into the inner workings of a community refounded with an eye toward building a new "alternative communal economy." The task, Gilbert finds, is not only one that is not only revolutionary, but liberating and creative, having the potential to collectively reimagine the social relations of a community.
克里斯-吉尔伯特（Chris Gilbert）通过对 El Maizal 公社的生动描述，向读者展示了一个社区的内部运作情况，这个社区是为了建立新的 "另类社区经济 "而重新建立的。吉尔伯特发现，这项任务不仅具有革命性，而且具有解放性和创造性，有可能共同重新构想一个社区的社会关系。

John Bellamy Foster, Arman Spéth
Originally published in the German journal Widerspruch, Arman Spéth interviews John Bellamy Foster about the growing interest in degrowth thought and the importance of incorporating democratic planning aimed at true equality into all levels of society. And what of the ecosocialist revolution? "Opportunities," Foster says, "are everywhere. Obstacles, largely a product of the present system, are also everywhere.… Nothing can or will remain the same. That is the very definition of a revolutionary situation."

In this reprint of the new introduction to The Myth of Black Capitalism, Earl Ofari Hutchinson reflects on the relevance of his work more than fifty years after its initial publication. Even despite the promotion of wealthy Black individuals as model capitalists and COVID recovery schemes purported to help Black entrepreneurs, "Little had changed except the desperation of countless numbers of near penniless, distressed Black small business owners."

McChesney look forward to the future of Monthly Review in the twenty-first century: "Despite mistakes, setbacks, and recognition that the road is long and arduous, we must not waver as we continue to study, educate, and be missionaries for the transcendence of the social system of capitalism and the development…of a society of equals."

John Bellamy Foster
For our seventy-fifth anniversary issue, John Bellamy Foster revisits the legacy of Albert Einstein and his deep connections to Monthly Review, including his authorship of the article "Why Socialism?," published in our first-ever issue in May 1949. Through historical documents and the famed physicist's own words, Foster rediscovers Einstein's commitment to socialism in both word and deed, and his collegial ties to MR's founding editors.

buy this issueThe MR editors revisit the words of Monthly Review editors Harry Magdoff and Paul M. Sweezy, writing in the twenty-fifth-year anniversary issue. Writing on the innate contradictions plaguing the capitalist system, the editors in 1974 noted that the ecological limitations of capital accumulation was "unsolvable" under capitalism, thus setting the stage for the magazine's continued exploration of ecosocialism as humanity's future.

Hannah Cross
As dangerous trans-Atlantic crossings between Africa and Europe continue to rise, Hannah Cross examines the roots of the ongoing crisis. The discussion around migration, she notes, "overlooks the imperial role of Europe and the United States over borders, migration regimes, regional (de-)integration, and national development projects within Africa." The solution, therefore, can only be found through genuine liberation and autonomy across the continent, rather than internationally imposed mechanisms benefitting the powerful in the Global North.

David Barkin, Juan Santarcángelo
The International Monetary Fund, part of the Bretton Woods Agreement that helped establish the current rules of the U.S.-dominated international capitalist system, claims to aim for a world of prosperity through so-called free trade. In Latin America, David Barkin and Juan Santarcángelo write, the IMF has contributed to the impoverishment of the working class and destruction of these countries' ecological legacies. But what does the future hold for the IMF in Latin America?
