Article name
The book will be published in English by CUP as 'Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism'. Should the article title change accordingly? Mahlermad (talk) 16:51, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Marx in the Anthropocene is actually an entirely separate book, despite its similar title. Per Saito in the acknowledgements of Marx in the Anthropocene: Some of the main ideas were developed during the preparation of my previous book Hitoshinsei no Shihonron (Capital in the Anthropocene) (Tokyo: Shueisha, 2020), which turned out to be unexpectedly popular in Japan, selling half a million copies. I owe its great success to my editor Yuka Hattori, who devoted an enormous amount of time and energy to the book. Part of the current book can be regarded as a more rigorous and academic version of the Japanese book, and its clarity comes from her editorial assistance. Obviously, the current book is not a translation of the previous Japanese book. Rather, it builds on wholly new arguments with a more careful reading of materials and the reconstruction of key debates on Marxian ecology in recent years.
