After Rio

Abstract

What I shall do today is first to give a very brief report on the Rio conference, which I attended as a correspondent for Monthly Review and the Bulletin of the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union. Then I want to locate the Earth Summit within the context of an international capitalism that is stagnating and discuss the factors which have given rise to its stagnation. Finally, I shall suggest how the future of the world economy will affect the prospects for dealing with our environmental problems.
