Sam Popowich
The recent arrest of Newsclick editor-in-chief Prabir Purkayastha is a chilling development in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaign of repression against free media. The current "moral panic" being mobilized against Purkayashta, Sam Popowich notes, represents Modi's attempt to gain popular legitimacy for his Hindutva program and silence dissent.

buy this issuePaul Burkett's death on January 7, 2024, at age 67, means that the world is suddenly bereft of the figure who played the leading role over the last three decades in developing a Marxist ecological economics in the face of the growing planetary crisis. His loss leaves ecological Marxism without its foremost exponent of the ecological critique of capitalist value relations. It also means the loss of a warm and compassionate human being, and a beloved jazz musician.

John Bellamy Foster
John Bellamy Foster discusses the past and present state of U.S. nuclear policy, asserting that its reliance on belligerent approaches endangers the entire world. "Only a minimalist, as opposed to a maximalist, approach to nuclear arms can put humanity on the road to nuclear disarmament," he writes, concluding that "the answer lies in a worldwide shift away from dying capitalism to…complete socialism."

P. Omodeo
As Pietro Daniel Omodeo observes in this review, "environmental politics cannot be separated from political decision-making." Using the example of the Senegal delta, as explored in Maura Benegiamo's La terra dentro il capitale, Omodeo shows that the neocolonial "Great Expropriation of the global commons" is underway in the Global South, with grim ecological and social consequences for those living in the delta.

Mauricio Betancourt
Mauricio Betancourt reviews Marcello Musto's The Last Years of Karl Marx. In the book, Betancourt finds a detailed portrait of Marx's rarely examined later years, revealing a man who, despite personal tragedy and failing health, remained a vigorous intellectual and scholar through the end of his life.
