Ecological Marxism’s Critique of Economic Reason

Ecological Marxism is an important foreign Marxist theory school formed by the combination of ecology and Marxism. Facing the modern capitalist society, under the economic rationality of “more is better”, from production to consumption, people get lost in the “cage” of consumerism and find it difficult to extricate themselves. This leads to the extreme plunder of natural resources and causes serious ecological crisis. For this reason, ecological Marxism is based on Marx’s relationship between man and nature, and uses ecological rationality to eliminate economic rationality, slow down economic growth, overcome false consumption, and achieve ecological reconstruction. Ecological Marxism’s critical theory of economic rationality has important reference significance for the construction of our country’s socialist ecological civilization.
