Extraenvironmentalist #73 is a two part episode. This is the post for SIDE A - featuring our interview on a contractionary revolution with Frank Rotering. The link for SIDE B on Egypt's revolution and education with David Blacker is here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The mainstream environmental movement has been unable to stop the ongoing ecological crisis. Are environmentalists willing to acknowledge the deep contradictions between the logic of capitalism and environmental health? Will revolutions like those in Egypt lead to a true alternative or merely perpetuate the failed dynamics of the past?<\/p>\n

In Extraenvironmentalist #73 <\/strong> we talk about the prospect for a series of revolutions that establish a post-capitalist world with Frank Rotering<\/a>. We discuss Frank's newest book Contractionary Revolution<\/a> and cover the reformist solutions put forward by an environmental movement unwilling to face practical notions of society's power relationships which block effective attempts at a sustainable civilization. Then, we hear from David Blacker<\/a> on his recent experience in post-revolutionary Egypt and the ideas in his new book The Falling Rate of Learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n
