Its population is overwhelmingly European in descent and it is urbanized, so the peasantry does not constitute the social base of society. Santiago is the center of vir­ tually every activity in the country with a population of over 3.5 million, out of 11.5 million total in Chile. The country is poor by U.S. standards, but it does have a basic infrastructure of roads and telecommunications, and it has an elaborate educational system with a highly literate populace. There is con­ siderable industry, as well as copper mining, and the industrial working class plays a key role in the economy and in politics. Chile is therefore not a typical Third World country, but, nevertheless, the economy is in terrible shape. Chile Santiago, May 1986 depends heavily on the extraction and export of copper, and copper, like the crisis has been compounded by the the only means of waste disposal. most other raw materials, is selling at free market policies of the government.

The Return of Nature begins with the deaths of Darwin (1882) and Marx (1883) and moves on until the rise of the ecological age in the 1960s and 1970s. Foster explores how socialist analysts and material- ist scientists of various stamps, first in Britain, then the United States, from William Morris and Freder- ick Engels, to Joseph Needham, Rachel Carson, and Stephen Jay Gould, sought to develop a dialectical naturalism, rooted in a critique of capitalism. In the process, he delivers a far-reaching and fascinating reinterpretation of the radical and socialist origins of ecology. Ultimately, what this book asks for is noth- ing short of revolution: a long, ecological revolution, aimed at making peace with the planet while meet- ing collective human needs, including those of the entire chain of human generations and life on the Earth as a whole.

It is a book that — Roger Waters, Pink Floyd could easily have been a song of despair – a lament of lost causes; it is, after all, a roll call of butchers and assassins; of plots against people’s movements and governments; of the assassinations of socialists, Marxists, communists all over the Third World by the country where liberty is a statue.

One such is Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso – also assassinated – who said: ‘You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness.
