About the Author
Andreas Malm is a Swedish theorist and environmental scholar whose incisive critiques of capitalism and ecology have reshaped contemporary debates on crisis and survival. Drawing from Marxist traditions and ecological science, he examines how intertwined emergencies—pandemics, climate collapse, and chronic inequalities—demand radical systemic overhaul. In his groundbreaking work, Malm argues for 'war communism' as a necessary response to the twenty-first century's existential threats, blending historical analysis with urgent calls for collective action. A professor at Lund University, he bridges academia and activism, influencing global discussions on degrowth, fossil capital, and revolutionary strategy. His writing challenges readers to confront the brutal realities of our polycrisis era and envision pathways to emancipation.
