Ecomodernity, decoloniality and environmental justice: Joan Martínez-Alier in conversation with Goutam Karmakar

Joan Martínez-Alier and Goutam Karmakar engage in a conversation where they examine the discourses of the Anthropocene, the Capitalocene, political ecology, and the Entropocene, exploring environmental (in)justices and focussing on decolonial approaches to addressing them. This discussion, as Joan and Goutam believe, can inform readers about the inner workings of colonial capitalism and the extractivist economy, the involvement of environmental activists, and the incommensurability of values in ecological economics. In order to develop an equitable and environmentally sustainable society, this conversation aims to comprehend the dynamics linking environmental concerns, activism, and socio-economic systems.
