Green Reformism is a widespread response to the current ecological crisis. The term refers to the support for improved technology and resource efficiency combined with a commitment to the logic of capitalism. The video explains why this approach cannot work and why it represents a serious failure of intellectual leadership. (To obtain the script for this video, email the author: frank_rotering@yahoo.com.

  • Just wanted to say I enjoyed your video very much. I agree with your fundamental critique of the mainstream intellectual response to the clash between ecology and economy (if you'll excuse the crude expression), and with the need for a fundamental shift in economic thinking. However, I think you do "reformists" a disservice when you imply that because they are politically realistic enough to advocate reform, this means they necessarily support the logic of our current economic model.

  • Thank you for posting this excellent video.
