in desperation Napoleon III went to war against Bismarck's Germany and lost, and in the vacuum that followed arose the Paris Commune, one of the greatest revolutionary episodes in capitalist urban history

The result is a doubly serious lacuna. We do not well understand what happens where and why and how events here affect conditions elsewhere.

Capitalism did not supplant feudalism by way of some neat revolutionary transformation resting on the forces mobilised within only one of these spheres. It had to grow within the interstices of the old society and supplant it bit by bit

In such a situation it would be churlish not to acknowledge the forces that are in the vanguard of socio-ecological change

others preach that our current problems arise out of arrant individualism and universal human greed
