Abstract

This review essay examines the book Climate Leviathan: A Political Theory of Our Planetary Future by Joel Wainwright and Geoff Mann. It focuses in particular on the methodological approach taken by the authors and on the final section of the book, which explores postcapitalist possibilities centered on equality, inclusion, and dignity. While the book offers both scholars and activists much in their struggle for a climate-just world, a further opening could be explored that steps to the side of the predominant focus on sovereignty and on an older form of Marxist politics.
