Overcoming Climate Blah Blah Blah: A (Feminist) Radical Political Economy Assessment of Reproducing Life Under a Climate Crisis

Sirisha C. Naidu

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2026, vol. 58, issue 2, 357-363

Abstract: In a world that is characterized by climate denialism, eco-fascism, and fossil capitalism, green capitalism has captured popular imagination as a silver bullet that will deliver humanity from annihilation. Yet its failure to deliver leaves open the question of “what is to be done.†I argue that focusing on the crisis of social reproduction experienced by working people decenters the productivist understanding of economy and society. It offers a more expansive understanding of the potential motivations of working people and their ability to resist and build. It could also help radical political economists shape a political vision that would replace one driven by concerns of profitability. JEL Classification: B51, B54, Q54, Q56
